A newly edited volume by EBS Professors Kätlin Pulk and Riina Koris takes a deep dive into the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. Bringing together more than 20 authors from a myriad of leading universities, from King’s College London and Copenhagen Business School to Essex University and the National Defense College in Washington DC, the book provides a multifaceted exploration of AI’s roles, risks, and potential in academia.

The year was 1988; the ideological directions were set, but one man, Madis Habakuk, envisioned a different future... For 35 years, EBS has been striving towards this alternative future every day. This remains crucial today, as we face changing expectations from people and society towards education. Education is and will always be the foundation upon which individuals can build a strong career and life.

Knowing that the future arrives faster than expected and that a university must be able to glimpse into the future while staying in the present has been natural at EBS throughout its entire operational history. The vision of EBS for the year 2028 highlights keywords such as lifelong learning, internationalisation, collaboration, and the synergy of science and entrepreneurship – to name just a few.
