💧 How much water did that AI prompt actually use? In my latest blog, I dig into what we actually know about AI’s water use, why location matters so much, and what it means to use AI with intention, without turning every prompt into an exercise in guilt. 🔗 www.drclairebrady.com/blog/how-muc...

My latest blog explores what it takes to move from: AI literacy → AI confidence → AI capability → institutional practice Because buying AI tools isn’t the same as building AI capacity. 🔗 www.drclairebrady.com/blog/buying-...

So…what happens when the AI task force goes home? 👀 I’m digging into a question more institutions need to be asking now: Who owns the work after the task force ends? Because your AI task force needs an exit strategy—and “we’ll figure it out” isn’t one. 🔗 www.drclairebrady.com/blog/your-ai...

My photo collection is getting increasingly entertaining. My book has been showing up on college campuses, on presidents’ desks, at cabinet and board retreats, in fun vacation spots, book clubs…and, yes, even in a chicken coop. 🐓 Apparently, my book gets out almost as much as I do!

As AI work matures, the work has to become bigger than the task force. My latest blog explores what it looks like to move from a group of enthusiastic early adopters to an institutional strategy. 🔗 www.drclairebrady.com/blog/your-ai-strategy-cant-belong-to-the-ai-taskforce-only

In my latest blog, I dig into this distinction through the lens of Achieving the Dream’s Creating the AI-Enabled Community College framework. The goal isn’t more AI. It’s greater institutional capacity to use AI wisely. 🔗 www.drclairebrady.com/blog/ai-enabled-isnt-the-same-as-ai-busy

Last summer, I wrote about packing cubes, TSA PreCheck, and why I'll never check a bag. A year (and another 25,000 miles) later, I've realized the real value of all that travel has very little to do with airports. www.drclairebrady.com/blog/another...

AI can generate content. It can't cultivate character. It can't build intellectual courage. That's why I believe AI doesn't diminish higher education's mission—it sharpens it. www.drclairebrady.com/blog/ai-can-generate-answers-higher-edu-must-develop-thinkers

I've received evaluations, feedback, emails, texts, comments, and handwritten notes. But there is something delightfully surreal about knowing that someone I've never met bought my book, read it, and decided it was worth taking a few mins to leave a review Thank you, kind reader! You made my day.

There’s a lot of uncertainty right now, especially when it comes to AI. Not because leaders aren’t capable, but because the pace of change is outpacing the structures designed to guide it. The real challenge is earning how to lead through it. Appreciate this perspective from Edward Martinez.

We talk a lot about culture in higher ed. But culture isn’t built in strategic plans, retreats or big initiatives. It’s built in the quick check-in, the quiet support, the note that says “I saw what you did.” I wrote about the invisible infrastructure of trust and why it matters right now.

Tools matter—but they don’t replace the human work at the core of higher ed. Appreciate this perspective from Dr. Beth Lesen. So many people are being asked to move quickly with AI, but this is the balance that matters most—staying grounded in the people, the mission, and the work behind it all.

Movement is not the same thing as strategy. A values-led AI strategy means: • Your mission drives the technology. • People are part of the process. • Success is measured by more than efficiency. The goal isn't to adopt AI faster. It's to adopt it more intentionally.

Grateful for this perspective from Brian Piper. Because at this stage, the conversation isn’t just about what’s possible—it’s about what’s aligned. 👉 What’s been the biggest challenge in aligning AI decisions with your institution’s mission? #AIwithIntention #HigherEd #AILeadership

AI isn’t just about what works. It’s about what serves. Students. Staff. Faculty. The mission. That’s the real question. 👉 What’s been the biggest challenge in aligning AI decisions with your organization’s mission? 🔗 Link in bio #AIwithIntention #HigherEd #AILeadership #HigherEdLeadership

Higher ed is under pressure to “move fast” on AI. But speed without intentional leadership can create more risk than readiness. Intentional AI leadership is: -Leading with purpose, not pressure -Building trust before transformation -Treating AI as a leadership imperative, not just an IT initiative.

Real examples. Clear direction. Actionable next steps. That’s what navigating AI in higher ed actually requires. Grateful for this perspective from Dr. Sheri Rowland. Link in bio 🔗ExploreAI with Intention #AIwithIntention #HigherEd #AILeadership #StudentSuccess
