Confidently Wrong: Why Your AI Needs Your Data

Everyone’s excited about AI agents. But an agent that can see only the SIS doesn’t know about the financial-aid hold or the LMS disengagement, so it answers confidently, and wrong. The intelligence isn’t in the agent; it’s in the connected data behind it. In this 30-minute briefing, CCF convenes a practical, vendor-neutral look at why data integration across campus systems is the real work behind agentic AI.

What you’ll take away:

• Why a siloed agent gives confident, wrong answers, and how to avoid it
• What “one student, one source of truth” actually takes across SIS, LMS, aid, and CRM
• How integration turns an agent from a demo into something that resolves real issues
• Where to start if your systems don’t talk to each other yet
