Delighted to co-chair this session this morning at #ACUSummit24 great thoughts & suggestions from many Vice-Chancellors on adoption & challenges of #AI for #HigherEd & glad our discussion will be fed into the Commonwealth Eduction Ministers summit being held in London tomorrow.
Constructing the future: a rich session on navigating #AI and digital in #HigherEd chaired by Lord @kulveerRanger @UKHouseofLords @TechUK and Prof @Wendy_Thomson_ CBE, Vice-Chancellor, @UoLondon addressing topics including ethics, regulation, governance, partnerships and teaching
Thank you @LondonEconomics for a fantastically chaired session. Lively debate with a range of perspectives and we look forward to taking the ideas and policy proposals forward to ministers at #22CCEM
Insightful session at our #ACUSummit24 on university #finance and #funding. Different funding models are needed that make the Global North-South divide better for mutual benefit - current models make it worse. Huge thanks to our session chair @GavanConlon.

Delightful evening at @cardiffuni @cardiffstudents #ESLAs2024 celebrating the staff and students that make the Cardiff community so special.
