You cannot lead on academic AI without understanding how it works. Education is moving fast, and artificial intelligence is already reshaping how students learn and how institutions respond. Everyone is talking about it, but very few have a clear grasp of what AI actually is or how to use it responsibly. That lack of clarity creates risk, and this webinar is your opportunity to get ahead of it.
This session kicks off a five-part training series for educators and administrators. We will cut through the hype, explain how different AI systems actually work, and show why they sometimes fail in surprising ways. By the end, you will have the essential foundation to recognize when AI outputs sound convincing but fall short and the confidence to stay in control of how AI is used in your classroom or institution.
This Session Covers:
A practical breakdown of AI types including rule-based systems, machine learning, and large language models
Real examples of how and why AI misses the mark, and what to do when it does
How to spot AI-generated content that lacks substance, accuracy, or reasoning
What it means to remain a human in the loop, and why that role matters more than ever
Actionable frameworks for developing institutional AI policies that foster innovation while protecting academic integrity
Be on the lookout for part two of our series "Teaching With Integrity in the Age of AI" in November!
