As campuses spin up task forces and strategy decks, the people closest to the work are still trying to explain that real progress comes from solid processes, clean data, and systems that actually integrate, not shiny tools bolted on top of chaos. The conversation drifts (on purpose) through buzzwords, half-baked pilots, and the familiar frustration of being asked to support technologies that skipped the fundamentals. Along the way, the panel brings a healthy mix of skepticism, humor, and hard-earned experience from living at the intersection of AV, IT, and reality. It\u2019s part therapy session, part reality check, and part drive-time radio nonsense. If you\u2019re sitting on an AI committee, dodging hype cycles, or just trying to keep classrooms running while everything gets labeled \u201cAI-powered,\u201d this one will hit close to home. &amp;nbsp; News article: European Journal of Education - Intelligent Classrooms: How AI and IoT Can Reshape Learning Spaces Connect with Dr. Kati Peditto:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/katipeditto\/ DLR Group \u201cEvolution of Campus\u201d&amp;nbsp;  https:\/\/www.dlrgroup.com\/firm-news\/evolution-of-campus-research-outcomes\/ &amp;nbsp; Alternate show titles:   You drive the bus you throw people under   It\u2019s a switch on the wall   The AI-native   We\u2019re gonna need you to talk about this with other people   Two-factor three different times   The sun couldn\u2019t rise tomorrow   The cooperative nature this will require is one of the biggest hurdles   We\u2019re doing this and if not you\u2019re getting fired   Start in an existing building   How insistent are you?
