Transfer Talk Podcast Thumbnail EP 9

AI in higher ed isn’t just knocking at the door—it’s already inside, sipping coffee in the faculty lounge. In this episode of transferTALK, host Jay Fedje sits down with Dr. David Hatami—AI ethicist, author, speaker, policy consultant, and founder of EduPolicy.ai—for a candid, insightful, and surprisingly funny conversation about how colleges and universities can stop fearing AI… and start planning for it.

From tech fails to policy wins, this is Part 1 of a multi-episode deep dive into AI’s role on campus. Hatami brings a unique blend of humor, intellect, and practical wisdom as he breaks down what schools need to do now to build responsible AI policies, why faculty buy-in is critical, and how AI can actually enhance the student experience—when used right.

Whether you’re an academic leader, a transfer advocate, or someone who just whispered “ChatGPT wrote this,” this episode will get you thinking bigger—and smarter—about what’s next.
