"Integrating advanced technology into higher education isn’t just about adopting AI tools, it means rethinking teaching methods, learning experiences, and institutional practices to truly unlock their potential. This shift must prioritize equity, diversity, and inclusion so innovation expands access, amplifies underrepresented voices, and helps every student thrive. Data and learning analytics should guide decisions, improving teaching and outcomes. Most importantly, it requires a clear strategy that encourages innovation, thoughtful experimentation, and collaboration across disciplines, creating a more inclusive and future-ready academic environment."
