Higher education institutions are under pressure to incorporate AI technology in classrooms and consider its impact on the workforce. Educators should prioritize the needs of students and embrace AI to promote equitable student success. AI is a system that uses machines to make predictions or decisions and has become integrated into various aspects of daily life. A survey found that AI is already impacting policies in higher education regarding teaching, learning, technology, cybersecurity, and data privacy. Institutions like Elon University and the Community College of Aurora are leading the way in guiding the implementation and use of AI in education while promoting equity and inclusion. AI has also been used in enrollment management to support student retention and completion with positive results.
