In this episode of WISE On Air, we dive into an unprecedented global research initiative exploring artificial intelligence’s impact on higher education.

Through conversations with research leads from six institutions across five continents, we uncover how different regions are approaching AI integration in universities and preparing students for an AI-powered future.

Our guests share insights on various critical aspects of AI in higher education, from curriculum integration and faculty development to ethical considerations and workforce preparation. From the halls of an Ivy League institution in the United States to a pioneering university in Kazakhstan, from Spain to India, and beyond – each perspective adds a unique dimension to our understanding of this transformative moment in education.

As part of WISE’s latest research initiative, these institutions are collaborating to produce one of the most comprehensive global studies on AI in higher education. The findings, set to be presented at the WISE 12 Summit in Fall 2025, promise to provide actionable insights for education leaders worldwide.

Join us for this enlightening discussion that bridges cultural contexts and institutional approaches to one of education’s most pressing challenges: adapting higher education for the age of artificial intelligence.
