The panel discussion centered on the integration and impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education. Key topics included potential transformative AI-driven web applications, such as back-end agentic systems for streamlining administrative silos (registration, finance, advising) and AI integrated into Learning Management Systems (LMS) for personalized student review. Cybersecurity risks associated with AI adoption were discussed, specifically concerning data governance, access control, and the permanent nature of data input into LLMs. Speakers emphasized the need for strong AI policies, secure-by-design practices, and the continuous role of the human element in augmenting processes rather than replacing them.
