AI in Higher Education

I’ve been actively engaged with questions about how artificial intelligence is reshaping teaching, learning, and the nature of work. My focus is on how to position AI as a collaborator rather than a shortcut, designing course structures that build human judgment, critical thinking, and cognitive ownership alongside AI fluency. I speak on these topics to academic and general audiences and welcome invitations to present or participate in panels.
