4.07. Pano Kanelos - Civitas Institute, University of Texas at Austin

Dr. JP Novin sits down with Panos Kanelos, Founding President of the University of Austin, for a thought-provoking conversation on artificial intelligence, institutional innovation, and the future of higher education. Together, they explore how AI is reshaping the value of a college education, why universities must focus on cultivating human wisdom rather than simply delivering information, and what it will take for institutions to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world. Panos also shares his vision for launching new models of higher education, restoring public trust, reducing costs, and driving meaningful innovation across the sector.
