AI Advisory Council

The AI Advisory Council was established in 2024 to provide guidance on the ethical, mission-aligned integration of artificial intelligence across campus. The Council unites a broad cross-section of university stakeholders that includes faculty, key staff, and student representatives from across campus that serve as a central advisory body for the university's AI strategy. 

Key accomplishments of the Council include:

• Designing and analyzing annual AI surveys distributed to faculty, staff, and students to establish baseline data on AI usage and directly shape university programming

• Launching the AI Academy to help faculty and staff integrate AI into their teaching, research, and workflows.

• Updating Academic Policies including the Academic Integrity syllabus policy (approved for inclusion in the University Catalog) and establishing University Learning Outcomes for AI literacy.

• Drafting Institutional AI Guidelines such as the AI Acceptable Use diagram and assisting in drafting a university-wide AI policy grounded in the University Mission

• Hosting AI Literacy and Engagement Events including the university's AI Ethics Bowl, custom bot-building workshops, and book discussion groups

• Developing Centralized AI Resources featuring official university AI policy details, FAQs, and practical guidance for faculty and students
