As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly embedded in higher education, many institutions focus on tools while overlooking a more fundamental question: Are faculty and instructional designers truly ready to teach with AI? Drawing on multi-phase qualitative evidence from faculty discourse and conference based open table discussions, this session introduces a socio-technical perspective on AI readiness. Participants will explore key tensions shaping AI adoption, including productivity, academic integrity, workload, and policy clarity, and engage in guided discussion about what meaningful readiness looks like in their own institutional contexts.#AIReadiness #FacultyDevelopment #TeachingWithAI
