Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping higher education and the workforce. As AI takes on an increasing share of cognitive and knowledge-based tasks—potentially handling up to one-third of the work traditionally performed by humans—the question for colleges and universities is no longer whether AI will change education, but how institutions should prepare students for a future where information is abundant and automation is commonplace.

This webinar, sponsored by Instructure, explores why liberal education is becoming more, not less, essential in the AI era. While AI can generate content, analyze data, and automate routine cognitive work, it cannot replace the distinctly human capacities that employers increasingly value: ethical reasoning, sound judgment, critical thinking, creativity, communication, and the ability to synthesize ideas across disciplines.

Join webinar presenters for a discussion of how institutions can strengthen the value proposition of liberal education by embedding AI literacy alongside the durable human skills that prepare graduates to lead, adapt, and solve complex problems in an evolving workforce. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for aligning curriculum, teaching, and institutional priorities with the competencies that remain distinctly human.
