Students, faculty, and staff are invited to a lecture on artificial intelligence and its impact on higher education. AI offers an unprecedented opportunity to re-envision higher education. Used intentionally, AI can serve as an enabler and a force multiplier, recreating at scale the advantages of individualized and contextual learning. The central challenge of AI is not simply whether it should be used, but how its use remains connected to educational purpose and mission, professional standards, public obligation, and continued relevance. Drawing on a multipart framework for AI governance, this talk goes beyond policy, risk, and compliance. Effective AI strategy must integrate purpose, ethics, visibility, and assurance while distinguishing participation from authority and connecting authority to accountability.About the Speaker This lecture will be given by Vistasp M. Karbhari, a professor in the Departments of Civil Engineering and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington, where he served as its eighth president from 2013 to 2020. Attend the event in person on the Long Island campus at the Harry Schure Hall auditorium, room 130, or attend the streamed talk on the New York City campus at 16 W. 61st St., room 723.Register (https://apps.nyit.edu/forms/ai-higher-ed-lecture-2026)
