AI Working Group Meeting—AI Literacy in Action: Aligning Academia and Industry for the Workforce of Tomorrow

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the workplace, both academia and industry face the same pressing question: What, exactly, should we be teaching and learning?

Join us for a highly interactive, one-hour Zoom discussion exploring how organizations can define and develop meaningful AI literacy across roles — without assuming everyone needs to be a data scientist.

Featuring insights from Milwaukee School of Engineering’s (MSOE) cross-campus initiative to integrate AI into every major, this session will explore:

• How MSOE approached AI curriculum design when industry itself wasn’t sure what to ask for

• How to define “AI-literate” by job role — from entry-level hires to mid-career professionals

• Push vs. pull learning models: Should organizations direct AI upskilling or let employees explore?

• What problems are actually worth applying AI to — and where it may not belong

• Risk, ethics, trust, and decision-making in regulated environments

Participants will be invited into the conversation to share how their organizations are assessing AI tools, structuring training, incentivizing adoption, and navigating risk.

This is not a lecture — it’s a working discussion for leaders thinking seriously about AI workforce readiness.

Ideal for workforce leaders, academic partners, innovation teams, and executives navigating AI integration in complex, regulated industries.
