USC President Discusses AI's Role in Higher Education at Semafor Summit
USC President Beong-Soo Kim addressed how artificial intelligence will reshape colleges and universities during remarks at the Semafor Summit.
Kim's comments come as higher education institutions grapple with integrating AI tools into curricula while managing concerns about academic integrity and student preparation for an AI-driven workforce.
Universities face practical questions about how to teach with AI rather than simply against it. Faculty must decide which tasks benefit from AI assistance and which require traditional instruction to build foundational skills.
The timing reflects broader pressure on universities to adapt. Employers increasingly expect graduates to work alongside AI systems, yet institutions haven't settled on how to teach that capability effectively.
Kim's participation in the summit signals that university leadership recognizes AI as central to institutional strategy, not a peripheral concern for IT departments.
