Keynote Address: Dr. Ray Schroeder

Preparing for Gen AI in the Higher Education Mainstream

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the announcement of ChatGPT on November 30, 2022, we are now on the verge of major new developments to integrate generative AI into the development and delivery of higher education. OpenAI has announced plans to establish OpenAI Academy by the end of the year running GPT-5 and including enhancements developed jointly with Khan Academy. We have already seen the first gen AI instructors, tutors, coders, Web developers, and more. What does this mean for those of us already in this field? Where and how soon will we see turnkey AI taught courses and programs? How about AI administered universities? How do we prepare for, and implement, these changes?
