Higher education institutions are facing increasing pressure to integrate AI technology into classrooms and consider its impact on the workforce. Prioritising individuals over technology is essential for effectively utilising AI to promote equitable student success. AI, which originates from the 1950s, now significantly shapes education, impacting teaching, technology, and cybersecurity. Navigating these complexities is challenging but essential, with a focus on aligning priorities with students’ academic needs. Elon University and the Community College of Aurora exemplify leadership in incorporating AI, prioritising people-centered approaches. At CCA, AI integration has led to increased enrollment and improved student engagement and success rates. As AI integration deepens in higher education, enhancing the student experience becomes paramount for attracting and retaining students, thus advancing equitable student success. By leveraging technological solutions in education, we are not just preparing for a brighter future; we are contributing to a more equitable and prosperous world.
