The new University of Iowa AI Industry Advisory Board connects university leaders with industry experts to help understand how artificial intelligence is reshaping the workplace and prepare students, faculty, and staff to thrive in an AI-enabled workforce.

The board brings together leaders with experience in technology services and operations, AI and product development, risk management, law, and talent management.
