As artificial intelligence continues to transform every corner of higher education, one thing is clear: the institutions that adapt will lead, and those that don’t risk being left behind.
In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. David Hatami on TransferTALK, we go beyond the hype and explore what it reallytakes for colleges and universities to prepare for an AI-driven future. This isn’t just about new tech—it’s about a new way of thinking.
How do you prepare students for a world where AI is moving faster than your curriculum committee can schedule a meeting?
Dr. Hatami made this bold statement: “AI is like electricity. It’s everywhere, it powers everything, and it’s going to change the game — for everyone.”
Whether it’s admissions, advising, or transfer credit evaluation (shoutout to our favorite topic), the impact of AI is already here.
We get into it — the 50/50 faculty split between the curious and the cautiously curled-up-in-a-ball. And we ask the question:
“What happens to students when professors avoid talking about the tech that will shape their jobs?”
Spoiler: it’s not great.
If you’re in enrollment, academic affairs, IT, or just curious where the whole AI-in-higher-ed rollercoaster is going — this episode is a must.
And if you’ve ever asked:
-
Should we be doing more with AI?
-
Is our faculty ready for what’s coming?
-
What does “AI governance” even mean?
…then yeah, you’ll want to hear this one.
