Jonathan McMichael
AI Strategist
Enterprise Technology, Arizona State University.
AI may be reshaping how higher education works — but not what it's for. Currently, my job is to develop ways that artificial intelligence supports our educational mission: built on what we know about how people grow, and anchored in the aspirations of a comprehensive public university.

My current focus at ASU and beyond.
