In the final part of this Pulse Check series, Carrie Phillips sits down with Jeff Ebbing for a practical, no-nonsense conversation about AI from a community college perspective. Jeff shares what it really looks like to think about AI when “doing more with less” is the daily reality, including what’s worth trying, what’s not, and how to bring skeptical colleagues along without overselling the technology. They talk about where community colleges are getting AI right and how to take smart, low-risk steps forward.
