Chief Data Officer St. John's College Annapolis, Maryland, United States
Session Abstract: KPI dashboards often suffer from fragmented systems, inconsistent data, and manual cleanup. These problems limit their value for institutional effectiveness. The poster shows how institutional research offices can start small with artificial intelligence to improve data reliability. Examples include entity resolution to unify records, anomaly detection to flag errors, and natural language processing to organize survey comments. Governance and ethics remain central. Human oversight, bias checks, and transparent documentation act as guardrails for every AI use case. Attendees will leave with strategies to launch small pilots that deliver cleaner datasets, faster dashboards, and greater confidence among leadership. The objective is simple. AI can be practical, responsible, and immediately useful for lean offices.
