Nearly two-thirds (64%) of higher education faculty members feel AI will bring significant, transformative change to instructors’ roles, according to a global Digital Education Council survey.

AI-enabled hardware could be a critical part of the process. AI PCs — computers that contain elements such as Intel Core Ultra processors with performance-enhancing central, graphics and neural processing units — provide advanced capabilities that can help educators create content, solve problems and execute other tasks.

EdTech: Focus on Higher Education recently spoke to Cigdem Ertem, general manager for commercial and educational clientele at Intel, and Larry Rother, Intel’s global director of commercial public sector segment, about the benefits AI-equipped devices could offer universities.

EDTECH: What type of devices are available to support the use of AI-driven solutions in higher education?

ROTHER: We're seeing higher ed enable more personalized learning for students as they leverage technology like Microsoft Copilot generative AI tools along with other accessibility and productivity tools. We're also seeing instructors leverage tools to be more efficient, automating things like searches, feedback or assessments for students.
