Perspectives from Three University Presidents
New Publication | Preparing Talent for the AI Economy: Perspectives from Three University Presidents
Building on the 2026 NYU AI and the Workforce Conference, this new publication brings together the perspectives of three university presidents on how higher education must adapt as artificial intelligence reshapes learning, work, and the skills students will need throughout their careers.
Featuring an introduction by Mark Kennedy and essays by President Andrew Armacost of the University of North Dakota, President Pam Eddinger of Bunker Hill Community College, and President Todd Saliman of the University of Colorado, the publication examines AI literacy, experiential learning, institutional adaptation, governance, lifelong learning, and the role of universities in preparing people to navigate an AI-enabled economy.
