AI Skills, Patching, and Infrastructure | Oct 30, 2026 | Embracing Digital This Week Deep Dive

This week, I had the opportunity to speak at the California State University AI Student Success Symposium, where we explored what it really means to create AI-Augmented Students. One of the things I've been emphasizing is that AI literacy alone isn't enough. Students need to develop four complementary skills: AI skills, subject matter expertise, core skills, and meta skills. The challenge for universities isn't just teaching students how to use AI tools. It's rethinking how we educate, assess learning, and prepare students to thrive in an AI-augmented workforce. And that's where the concept of the AI-Augmented University comes in. How do we transform not just the student experience, but the faculty, administration, and institution itself? This is something we're actively exploring with universities, and I'm excited about where these conversations are heading.
