    CS professor Derek Hoiem, will be the opening keynote speaker at the Illinois Higher Education Equity Symposium on October 8-9. Hoeim's talk, "The Role of Higher Education in AI's Future," focuses on the potential for AI to transform society and what higher education should do about it. He will present AI as a communication technology, as a knowledge work automation technology and emphasize the need for collective action to shape AI's impact, stressing that higher education institutions should lead with outward-facing coordination and inward-facing transformation. Hoeim's examples will include the AI Coordination Hub, DPI, and the Illinois AI Framework.
