Lilly pads in the background.
The reverberations of rapid AI expansion across higher education are being felt near and far. This keynote invites educators to pause the rush to either fully adopt or entirely avoid AI, and instead to investigate. What does this moment reveal about the kind of intelligence that truly matters in our teaching and learning? How can we invite the full range of perspectives, from early adopters to cautious skeptics, and let that diversity illuminate where we might head next? Through stories, humor, and reflection, the session re-centers human connection, critical curiosity, and community as the foundations of effective teaching in the age of AI.
