Michael Coppenheifer

Michael Coppenheifer appears in AI Meets the Search for a BA describing how students use AI and how colleges should respond. He says students ask ChatGPT and similar tools to inspect Reddit and Instagram for campus vibe, then use AI to compare acceptances, scholarships, and pros and cons.

Coppenheifer also frames the institutional side of Higher Education AI Discoverability. He says colleges should pay attention to how AI systems describe them, test their AI presence like “secret shoppers,” and keep public digital information current so AI tools do not surface outdated or incomplete material.
