Sharing a vital conversation between @tlechtable & @gabramosp at @IEuniversity on how universities must lead in the AI era. 🎓🌐 In a polarized world, universities & international institutions need to build bridges and drive change. It’s not the tech, but how we integrate it that matters. #AIethics #HigherEd #UNESCO @iehumanities @UNESCO @catalinatejero
