Event Overview:
In a world where generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is beginning to reshape the way we gather, share, and interpret information, it's crucial for professionals in libraries, IT, and other information-related areas to lead through these changes with understanding, confidence and vision. But how can individuals effectively balance the rapidly developing opportunities and challenges irrespective of their job titles? 

Join a dialogue and share insights on navigating the AI revolution from every seat at the table. While AI is often approached from a technical perspective, this conversation dives into the human side of the equation, considering the work across teaching, learning, research, and the myriad of other areas higher education institutions reflect.

Geared toward all information professionals in higher education, this discussion will emphasize the non-technical aspects of integrating AI/ML across disciplines, focusing instead on areas such as leadership, culture, ethical considerations, and holistic strategies. 

Learning Outcomes
 - Explore the emerging impacts of AI tools and approaches on libraries, IT, and other information-centric areas.
 - Gain insights on how to adapt and influence amidst these changes, irrespective of your position or title.
 - Explore examples of AI experimentation and adoption, including success and challenges.
