The video and slides of UMBC Professor John Schumacher’s Lipitz Lecture on “Generative AI and Higher Education: Practical Insights for Today and Tomorrow” are now available online.

Generative AI systems are fundamentally challenging higher education. The rapid evolution of tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude confronts us with urgent questions: How do we understand and use these tools? How might we integrate these technologies effectively? Where do we set the academic and ethical boundaries for their use? His presentation explored the current generative AI landscape and gave practical insights for educators, students, and institutions.
