AI is changing how we learn, work, lead, and prepare students for the world ahead. So why isn’t higher ed moving faster in adopting this technology at scale? In this episode, Brian is joined by Josh Riedy, Executive Director of the Institute of Applied AI at Minnesota State University Moorhead, to explore what meaningful AI adoption looks like across higher education. Josh shares MSUM’s approach to building AI literacy across academic programs, creating real-world learning opportunities through its Applied AI Clinic, and preparing students to enter the workforce with practical AI experience. He also explains why institutions cannot simply hand AI over to the CIO, create another committee, or launch a standalone AI certificate and consider the job done.
