Academics Debate Technology's Role in Higher Ed at Digital Universities U.S. Summit Hosted by Illinois Tech

Inside Higher Ed

Digital Universities U.S., a conference held at Illinois Tech and co-hosted by Times Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed, had its share of technology enthusiasm in hallway discussions and on the agenda, but the event was far from a pep rally, with many speakers expressing worries about the rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence, bemoaning the tendency to embrace the latest “bright shiny object,” and cautioning against use of technology that isn’t directly in service of institutions’ core missions. At one session, Michael Gosz, Illinois Tech's vice president of data analytics, heralded a course recommendation system that has streamlined the advising process, but he acknowledged that the system worked well because the data that drive the recommendations were generated through deep conversations between advisers and students in the past—conversations that the mechanized system might reduce the need for. “What happens in the future? Does the system degrade over time?”
