AI-Enabled University
Practices of Artificial Intelligence in Education, Governance, and Research
Executive Study Tour for University Presidents and Vice-Presidents
Artificial intelligence is already transforming higher education — often faster than universities are able to design governance frameworks and regulatory responses. Whether university leadership positions itself as an AI enthusiast or a cautious skeptic, ignoring this global trend is no longer an option. What matters today is understanding how AI is already reshaping higher education and adopting a proactive, strategic leadership stance.
Most universities are facing the same fundamental governance questions:
- Who is responsible for AI-related decisions at the institutional level?
- How can educational quality and academic integrity be ensured in the era of generative AI?
- How can universities avoid fragmented pilot projects and uncontrolled experimentation?
- How can AI become a strategic advantage rather than a reputational or operational risk?
Chinese universities operate in an environment of extreme speed of change.AI-enabled decisions are made rapidly, institutionalized at scale, and evaluated based on measurable outcomes rather than isolated experiments.
This makes China a unique point of reference for university leaders worldwide.
