"AI agents are starting to look less like chatbots and more like services. They can coordinate tasks, call tools and make changes in production systems without a human reviewing every step. For large enterprises, that autonomy is both an opportunity and a risk. The question is no longer whether an AI system can generate a good answer. It is whether you can govern what the system does."

What are you doing to ensure that the degree and certificate candidates at your institution are prepared to thrive in the new environment that is emerging in this year and next? Technologists, economists and visionaries are warning us that in the next three to 18 months, we are going to experience rapid and pervasive disruption of our professional lives, workplace models and distribution of income. Professional positions requiring college degrees will be lost, remade into highly productive, cost-efficient, hybrid human-AI models where human contributions and compensation will collectively shrink and evaporate.

The new AI agent aims to save faculty time on “low-value tasks,” but stops short of fully automating grading. But some experts worry that the rise of agentic AI could lead to a dead classroom, where computers teach other computers. Weeks after an outside agentic artificial intelligence tool called Einstein caused an uproar over its ability to complete entire courses in the learning management system Canvas, Canvas has unveiled an agentic AI tool of its own. But instead of helping students cheat—or automating instruction—its creators say it’s designed to enhance teaching and learning.

"Today’s leadership mandate requires more than long-term strategy. In a recent interview with McKinsey’s Eric Kutcher, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna had advice for fellow leaders: “You’ve got to be willing to ‘do’: As opposed to getting disrupted by somebody else, disrupt yourself while you still have the cash flow and clients who value your capabilities.”

"The rise of generative AI in higher education is reshaping how feedback is delivered, but meaningful learning could be undermined if its use is not carefully guided by principles of care, trust and connection, according to new research led by the University of Surrey. Published in Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, the paper explores how generative AI technologies, including chatbots such as ChatGPT, are transforming feedback for students—highlighting both the opportunities and risks of AI in education."

"Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly moving beyond chatbots and copilots. A new generation of AI agents is beginning to perform real actions. These agents can access APIs, move money, retrieve data, write code, interact with customers and even coordinate other agents. That shift raises a simple but critical question: Who is watching what the agent actually does?"

"Over the past several years, schools have been urged to respond to the rapid emergence of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT with limited information and a lot of hype and horror stories. Some have framed the technology as potentially transformative for teaching and learning, while others claim the opposite. Yet in many classrooms, adoption has been slower and more selective than the surrounding hype might suggest."

"A little over a decade ago, schools were swept into what many described as a movement to prepare students for the future of work. That work was coding — “Hello, world!” Districts introduced new courses, nonprofits expanded access to computer science education and a growing ecosystem of programs promised to teach students the skills needed to enter the tech workforce. For many, it felt like a necessary correction to a rapidly digitizing world. But over time, a more complicated picture emerged."

"The importance of fostering a sense of connection in higher education, particularly in virtual environments, is well-documented in educational research [1]. Meaningful connections—with peers, instructors, and within this context, course material—are central to student engagement and success, particularly in online learning contexts, where physical presence and face-to-face interaction are absent. Scholars have noted that the absence of these traditional forms of engagement necessitates intentional instructional strategies to support students' sense of belonging and active participation in the learning process [2]."
