About the Program
The CAIO — Education Edition is a 6-week program that gives education executives and frontline professionals a clear, step-by-step plan to bring AI to every corner of campus. Guided by simple governance templates that meet FERPA, GDPR-edu, and accreditation rules, you’ll design tools for personalised learning, quicker and fairer assessments, real-time student-success alerts, and automated enrolment and back-office tasks. By the end, you leave with a ready-to-launch AI blueprint—explainable, compliant, and built to cut costs while shaping the future of education in the AI era.
Why Become an AI Leader in Education
AI is now a budget-critical lever, not a “nice to have.” The global AI-in-education market is racing from USD 5.9 B in 2024 to USD 32 B by 2030 (31% CAGR). On campus, 57 % of universities call AI “strategic,” yet fewer than 40 % have a policy to guide it—while 86 % of students already use AI in their studies. Early adopters are already cashing in: a 20 % jump in retention from AI-driven personalized learning, up to 30 % lower admin costs through smart automation, and 80 % faster grading with AI-powered assessment tools. Yet 85 % of campus AI pilots still fail—most die from bad data, weak governance, and siloed leadership.
The CAIO — Education Edition closes that gap. In 6 weeks you’ll draft an institution-grade AI strategy, validate a live use case, lock in compliance, and join a global council of AI-first education leaders.
