Dr. Claire Brady delivers a grounded, practical approach that cuts through hype, assesses real opportunities and risks, and builds strategies that honor your values while expanding what's possible for your students and community. Inside, you'll discover how to evaluate AI tools through the lens of your values, build institutional capacity, lead productive dialogue between enthusiasts and skeptics, and amplify human capability through thoughtful AI integration. Together, these strategies provide the foundation to lead AI adoption with intention and meaningful impact. AI is a powerful tool. But the real power lies with leaders who have the clarity and courage to lead transformation that advances what higher ed does best — change lives.
