Faculty members consider the role of AI in the classroom »
The University of Michigan has been at the forefront of tackling how to integrate generative AI into higher education. In May 2023, Laurie McCauley, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, and Ravi Pendse, vice president for information technology and chief information officer, sponsored the Generative Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee. The committee worked throughout the summer to recommend ways U-M can use and accommodate AI technology, including best-practice standards for privacy protections, expanding upon existing information technology infrastructure, and establishing an initiative to develop methodologies for AI-augmented education and research.
