Lev Gonick is CIO of the most innovative university in the US at Arizona State. He outlines the part technology has played in the 20+ year of transformation that created a global entrepreneurial pioneer from a party-town college in the desert. In this fireside chat with Manuela Franceschini of Adobe, he reflects on what he wished he had known at the start of their journey and what his dreams of the impossible are now. He says universities like his, driven by access and public service, owe it to their graduating students to equip them for a new AI economy. He shares how their experience is guiding Shainal Kavar as CIO in Australia's AI-first La Trobe University.
