Event Overview:
The NERCOMP Leadership Ecosystem is pleased to host a one-hour webinar that will explore the implications of generative AI in education for campus technology leaders. This panel discussion will feature a highly regarded academician and three students who will share the impact of  generative AI on their studies. The session will provide an overview of generative AI and its current developments, including its potential for administrative and pedagogical uses.

The panel will examine the ethical considerations associated with generative AI, and highlight the opportunities and challenges it presents for higher education institutions.
