Artificial intelligence is transforming how knowledge is created, shared, and governed — challenging universities around the world to rethink their methods, hierarchies, and purpose.
Join an interdisciplinary panel of scholars from Asia, Europe, and North America for a public discussion. In short, ten-minute talks, they will explore how AI is redefining the intellectual and social mission of universities across the globe, followed by an interactive exchange with the audience.
Together, the speakers will explore how academic institutions can engage with AI in ways that foster inclusion and critical inquiry while sustaining their public purpose.

This event forms part of the international workshop “Artificial Intelligence and the University: Knowledge Production, Pedagogy, and Infrastructure,” organised at the Geneva Graduate Institute on 4-5 December 2025 as part of the Institute’s AI Strategy initiative. The workshop includes both closed sessions and a limited number of public events, of which this session is one.
