Pulse Check: The Human Side: Managing Fear, Change, and Skepticism when it comes to AI — Part 3

Carrie Phillips sits down with Irene Borys from Augustana College to explore the emotional and cultural dynamics of AI adoption in higher education. Rather than focusing on the tech itself, they delve into the deeper fears, questions, and resistance that AI stirs up — and how higher ed leaders can guide their institutions through this change with empathy, intentionality, and strategy. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone navigating digital transformation in academia.
