About the Event

Many UK universities are rapidly moving from AI experimentation to institution-wide technology choices. CIOs and senior IT and digital leaders are increasingly being asked to define clear institutional positions on AI platforms, governance, pedagogy and risk, often in the absence of clear sector consensus. 

If data architecture defines what we can know, learner analytics defines what we should know, and AI defines what we can do with it.

Is the future university technology infrastructure about integrating these into a single, coherent ecosystem? This roundtable brings together CIOs and senior IT and digital leaders to discuss:

  • From systems to data-centric architecture
  • Learner-centred data models
  • Embedded, ambient ai
  • The future infrastructure model

As part of this discussion, Kevin Braim, Chief Information Officer at St Mary's University will also share how learner centred data model has transformed retention and outcomes at St Mary's University.
