About the Episode
As artificial intelligence makes basic knowledge transfer free and instant, higher education institutions must confront a fundamental question: what is the true value of a university degree? Host Brian Piper speaks with Michael Horn, Author of Job Moves and co-founder of the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation, to explore how AI is fundamentally reshaping higher education. Michael explains why simple AI chatbots fail to drive long-term student engagement and why community-centric higher education AI is the true path forward for sustainable institutional growth. Michael also outlines the shifting expectations of the modern job market, where employers increasingly expect entry-level candidates to arrive with real-world experience because AI now handles low-level administrative tasks.

Episode Prompt:
Act as a skeptical, well-informed advisor reviewing the attached [document/plan/draft].
Don't summarize it back to me. Instead:
(1) identify the three biggest gaps or unanswered questions a smart critic would raise,
(2) tell me what a reasonable person who disagrees with this approach would argue, and why,
(3) flag anything that's vague, unsupported, or likely to raise a red flag with [leadership/faculty/families/whoever the real audience is], and
(4) suggest the three best outside sources I should check before I finalize this.
Ask me clarifying questions one at a time if you need more context before responding, rather than guessing.
