In this day and age of AI, we often ask ourselves how we can better align ourselves with technology - academically, culturally, financially, professionally and more. The MIT Club of Beijing is proud to present Dr. Agustin RAYO (PhD '01), Professor of Philosophy, Kenan Sahin Dean of MIT School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (SHASS) to share with us on Higher Education in the Age of AI in this live webcast from March 11, 2026.
Dean RAYO speaks on the intersection of technology and humanities, focusing on the impact of AI on society and the role higher education plays in implementing ethical AI for a balanced coexistence of humans and AI.
MIT, two years in a row, has been ranked #1 among world's top universities for arts and humanities in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings - 2026 & 2025.
(The 2026 Arts and Humanities ranking encompasses a diverse range of subjects including: languages, literature and linguistics; history; philosophy; theology; architecture; archaeology; and art, performing arts and design.)
MIT...？！？！ "This may strike some as counterintuitive, but this reflects decades of strategic investment and the Institute’s distinctive model: at MIT, the arts thrive as a constellation of recognized disciplines while penetrating and illuminating countless aspects of the Institute’s scientific and technological enterprise. This unusual integration fuels creative problem-solving and interdisciplinary discovery, supports student well-being and personal growth, and enriches MIT’s global impact." (The Future of the Arts at MIT Committee Report, Sept 25, 2025)
How can an institution like MIT ensures it is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century (MIT Mission Statement)... We hope you join us on this thought-provoking discussion.
