What Higher Ed Can Learn from AI Startups — Part 2
Episode description
In this episode of Higher Ed Pulse, host Mallory Willsea sits down with Kyle James (again!) to tackle the deep divide between how startups and higher ed institutions adopt and implement AI. This conversation dives into why experimentation, failure, and iteration are the lifeblood of startup growth—and how higher ed can start borrowing from that playbook. From low-code/no-code AI tools to agile workflows and international student personalization, this episode is packed with actionable insights that challenge the higher ed status quo.
