Only a few days have passed since our campus was shaken, and yet it feels as if time has stretched and folded in on itself. I’ve watched our faculty, staff, and students move through these days with a heaviness that’s hard to put into words.

We received so many great responses to the March/April 2026 question that we wanted to share them all!
During the webinar, panelists discussed current AI applications in parking and mobility operations, emphasizing that AI should be viewed as a tool rather than a complete solution, particularly strong in data processing, pattern recognition, and automation. They addressed challenges such as data privacy, regulatory compliance, and the need for human oversight, along with risks like AI hallucinations and the importance of accurate data inputs. The conversation highlighted AI’s growing role in customer service, appeals processing, revenue management, and development. Panelists also noted that while AI will increase productivity, it is more likely to create new opportunities than eliminate jobs. Looking ahead 3–5 years, they expressed excitement about AI’s potential but stressed the need for nimble partners and strong guardrails as the technology continues to evolve rapidly.
