In the Summer of 2023, Ithaka S+R launched a research and consulting project, “Making AI Generative for Higher Education” that assists 18 higher education institutions in identifying ways and areas generative AI (GAI)  is poised to revolutionize educational practices, yet these areas are not receiving sufficient attention from our institution or the higher education sector at large.

This panel discussion, part of NISO Plus Baltimore 2025, aims to explore the preliminary findings of our ongoing project, which investigates the potential impacts of GAI on research and teaching within the higher education environment, with particular attention to issues of equity and access. Representatives from Stony Brook University and Ithaka S+R will share insights on navigating the evolving educational landscape shaped by generative AI technologies, with a focus on ensuring that these technologies are leveraged to promote inclusivity and reduce barriers to success. The session will take place on Tuesday, February 11 at 3:15-4:30pm ET.
