The University in the Age of AI: Rebuilding Trust, Truth, and Teaching with Kavita Bala | Ep 42
About this episode
Kavita Bala discusses the challenges and opportunities for universities in the context of AI and public trust.
At a moment when higher education faces accelerating technological disruption and intensifying public scrutiny, Cornell Provost Kavita Bala argues that universities must do two things at once: defend their truth-seeking mission with renewed clarity, and reimagine how they teach, research, and engage society in an era shaped by AI, polarization, and declining trust.
