Welcome to the fifth series of our Crossing Channels podcast, co-produced with the Bennett School of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge.
In this episode, we’re joined by three experts, Jean-François Bonnefon, François Poinas, and Jonathan Grant, who explore how artificial intelligence is transforming higher education. They bring perspectives from public policy, psychology, and economics.
Together, they discuss how AI is reshaping the way universities teach, conduct research, and connect with government, business, and civil society. The conversation touches on the impact of generative tools on learning and assessment, how students and academics can build trust in AI systems, and what these technologies mean for the skills and values that universities aim to foster.
