Yet most campus networks remain the result of decades of layered tools, policy overlays, and accumulated exceptions — what can only be described as “Frankenstein networks.”
The common response is to apply more AI on top: copilots, dashboards, anomaly detection. But AI cannot correct architectural entropy. When the foundation is fragmented, inconsistent, and operationally dependent on manual intervention, AI is reduced to surfacing alerts rather than eliminating root causes.
This session challenges the assumption that more AI alone will solve network complexity. Instead, it explores what AI actually requires: a strong architectural foundation, deterministic design, consistent and high-quality telemetry, unified data context, deep instrumentation, and closed-loop automation that can act with guardrails and accountability.
Autonomous campuses will not emerge from overlays. They will emerge fr?: 03:40 PM - 04:00 PMPractical use of AI in Higher EducationHost: Greg Williams  Interim Assistant Vice ChancellorInfo: Greg Williams is the Chief Information Officer at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, where he leads enterprise technology and digital transformation strategy with a strong focus on applied AI, automation, and innovation.
