Simon Biggs as Vice-Chancellor of James Cook University sees great opportunity in AI enhancing personalisation in tertiary learning and becoming a disruptor of global universities. He sees positive impacts in fulfilling his vision and mission to serve remote communities in opening access to education to more learners. And he is clear that AI will free people up from jobs they no longer need to do, to have space to think and enhance student experiences. He believes it is critical for us to apply AI to help young people with companionship and overcome increased loneliness. Nabeela Furtado of Unisuper joins me as co-host to focus on human wellbeing at a time when the sector has the greatest challenges with how staff and students navigate change.
