Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education and the workforce, and Dallas College is at the forefront, designing curriculum and strengthening industry connections as AI reshapes our economy. This panel explores how Dallas College is integrating AI into the student experience, upskilling faculty through partnerships with industry leaders like Google, and preparing graduates — from construction trades to future educators — for an AI-driven economy. Learn how innovation, investment, and workforce alignment are shaping the future of education.
