AI & the Future of Learning Summit brings industry, education leaders together to discuss higher education\u2019s opportunity to lead, what students need, and what partnerships are possible<\/p>\n

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the nature of work and learning, speakers at the University of Michigan\u2019s AI & the Future of Learning Summit delivered a clear message: higher education must take a leading role in defining what comes next.<\/p>\n

One CEO of a leading educational technology company put it like this: \u201cThe only bad thing would be universities standing still.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThis shift is already affecting early-career pathways. Employers are placing greater emphasis on experience, while traditional entry-level roles are becoming less accessible. There is often a gap between what a credential represents and the expectations of employers.<\/p>\n

That gap is particularly evident in access to internships. Chris Parrish, co-founder and president of Podium, noted that millions of students compete for a limited number of internships each year, making it increasingly difficult to gain the experience employers demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you miss out on an internship, you\u2019re twice as likely to be unemployed,\u201d Parrish said.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
