Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising Enterprise Architecture (EA) in higher education, reshaping how universities integrate technology to enhance learning, streamline operations, and future-proof academic institutions. AI-driven EA enables universities to personalise student experiences, automate administrative processes, and optimise resource allocation, ensuring greater efficiency and adaptability in an evolving digital landscape. By leveraging predictive analytics, machine learning, and intelligent automation, AI enhances decision-making, improves research management, and enables data-driven governance across campus systems. Institutions worldwide are adopting AI-enhanced EA to facilitate smart learning environments, adaptive curriculum design, and intelligent student support systems. However, this transformation brings challenges, particularly in data privacy, cybersecurity, and ethical AI governance, necessitating robust policies to ensure responsible AI deployment. This talk explores how AI-powered EA is reshaping higher education globally, highlighting key innovations, institutional best practices, and strategies for sustainable digital transformation. By examining real-world university implementations, this discussion aims to provide actionable insights on leveraging AI within EA to enhance student engagement, drive operational excellence, and future-proof higher education institutions for the digital age.
