We're Excited... And Exhausted

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, recorded on-site at the Ai4 Conference in Las Vegas, Sam and Larry sit down with Kevin Taylor, Chief Information Officer, and Mike Hart, Chief Information Security Officer, at MSU Denver. Together, we explore what it means to lead institutional IT and cybersecurity at a moment when advanced AI has moved out of the labs and into daily campus life. Kevin and Mike share how their thinking has shifted, where the real tensions sit between innovation and governance, and what it takes to balance faculty, staff, and student demand for AI access with the realities of maintaining a complex enterprise environment.
