The stubborn art of being human: A symposium on AI, students, and the future of higher education

19 Nov 2026 | Lecture Theatre (Basement Level), Building 16 (Storey Hall) – RMIT University

The Australian Technology Network of Universities proudly presents the The stubborn art of being human: A symposium on AI, students, and the future of higher education – a free in-person and online event on Thursday, 19 November from 11:00am – 4:30pm (AEDT).

In the 2025 ATN symposium on GenAI: Graduate skills and employability we heard that it was important to be brave, be bold, and be curious and that GenAI was a technology to augment, not replace, human skills.

In 2026, 18 months on, panels consisting of diverse students, experts from across our institutions, and industry, will share their experiences and insights – and engage in a provocative debate – to inform the future of AI in higher education.

Be sure to join the ATN team and our guests as we navigate this ever-changing landscape and hear how we can prepare the graduates of tomorrow for the workforce of the future.

The full program, including the official announcement of our panellists, will be revealed over the coming weeks.
