Dr. JC Bonilla and Ardis Kadiu dive into the shifting landscape of artificial intelligence—from industry layoffs and OpenAI’s trillion-dollar ambitions to what they’re hearing on the ground at higher education conferences. With thousands of miles traveled and dozens of conversations had with CIOs, trustees, and technologists, this episode explores how AI is reshaping org charts, influencing new browser experiences, and slowly (but surely) becoming a real operational force across campuses. If you're curious about how agentic AI is showing up in enrollment marketing and student success, this is a must-listen.
