AI Workshop
What happens to education when AI changes everything?
A revolution is coming to our schools.
Let's talk about what comes next.
Should students still go to college? What should they be learning? What happens when AI can tutor, teach, translate, quiz, and adapt in real time?
We’re sitting down with Arnold Castro, Assistant Dean for AI at Texas A&M’s Mays Business School, to talk about what the future of education actually looks like when AI stops being a novelty and starts becoming infrastructure.

Special Guest
Arnold Castro
Assistant Dean for AI at Mays Business School, Texas A&M University
Arnold Castro brings 25+ years of emerging technology leadership to Texas A&M, where he serves as Mays Business School’s first Assistant Dean for AI. Before academia, he helped organizations worldwide adopt and implement AI as chief data & technology officer at MFG Analytic.
Our conversation with Arnold will explore how AI is reshaping education, work, readiness, and the skills people will need in the near future. We’re talking students, parents, universities, business leaders, and the very real possibility that many people will manage agents before they ever manage people.
What's in it for you? Ah-ha moments. Also:
Real talk about
The future of education
in the age of AI
AI readiness for the next generation
Understand what future careers may demand, how work is changing, and why “knowing AI” may soon look a lot more like managing systems than mastering code.
A front-row seat to what’s already
happening inside universities
Hear how leading schools are thinking about AI-enabled learning, adaptive teaching, asynchronous education, and what happens when courses can evolve as fast as the technology does.
A smarter perspective
A clearer view of what students, parents, and institutions should actually be preparing for as AI changes how people learn and work.
Direct Access
Ask the difficult questions about college, careers, preparedness, agentic AI, and how to make smart decisions in a world that is changing faster than most institutions are built for.
An AI conversation worth
rearranging your day for.
Olivia Lutz (a recent grad from Mays Business School and Softway's newest US team member 🎉) will be moderating the conversation, bringing a perspective that feels especially timely for this topic.
As a recent graduate, she’s close enough to the educational experience to understand what students are navigating now—and close enough to the workforce to ask the questions a lot of people are quietly wondering about.
She knows what it feels like to stand in that in-between space:
-
What did college prepare me for?
-
What’s already outdated?
-
What actually matters now?
-
And how should students, parents, and educators think differently about the road ahead?
That’s what makes this conversation worth experiencing.
