AI Power Users Group - Monthly | The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in academia is transforming the way we teach, research, and engage with our disciplines. To foster innovation and collaboration, this workshop aims to connect AI-savvy faculty members ("power users") across disciplines, creating a space for sharing experiences, best practices, and strategies for effective use of AI in teaching and research. The workshop will convene monthly, offering Experience Sharing: Faculty can present successful implementations of AI in their classrooms and research projects; Best Practices: Discussion on navigating challenges like ethical concerns, integration with traditional pedagogy, and optimizing AI tools for productivity; Collaboration Opportunities: Facilitating cross-departmental collaborations and pilot projects. Goals: Build a connected community of AI practitioners at the university; Identify and promote innovative applications of AI in academia; Encourage responsible and effective use of emerging technologies. Outcomes: Participants will leave each session with actionable insights and strategies to refine their own AI applications. The workshop will serve as a springboard for creating interdisciplinary collaborations. The sessions will contribute to a repository of case studies and best practices for AI use at the university. This initiative aligns with the university’s commitment to embracing innovation in pedagogy and research, equipping faculty and students with skills to navigate a rapidly evolving academic landscape. | 4/3/2025 3:30:00 PM |
