Collaborate
As the AI landscape continues to evolve, we are building new opportunities for collaboration across research, education, and industry. Stay tuned for updates on how you can get involved and help shape the future of artificial intelligence at the University of Arizona.
AI Community at the University of Arizona
The AI community on campus is a space for university members to explore opportunities and connect with researchers, faculty, staff, and students to foster campus-wide discussions on the equitable access and ethical use of artificial intelligence. Explore the AI resources, updates, and insights on campus. University credentials are required to access the community site.
AI Marcom Council
The AI MarCom Community of Practice helps empower the University of Arizona’s marketing and communications professionals to integrate generative AI technologies into their workflows responsibly, effectively, ethically, creatively, and in alignment with the university’s mission and values. All U of A MarCom staff are welcome to contribute their knowledge and learn from others in this community. We will be establishing an AI MarCom Sharepoint presence as a space for exchanging ideas and learning from one another amid this rapidly evolving technology. If you have questions, please email artificialintelligence@arizona.edu.
Past AI Initiatives
AI Access and Integrity Working Group
The AI Working Group hosted cross-campus teams that focused on four core areas: Education, Industry, Research, and Society. Team members examined AI and their focus area through the lenses of three cross-cutting themes: Benefits, Ethics, and Infrastructure and Training. The working group structure also included Organizing and Action committees that helped coordinate and advance the teams' activities.
Brief Timeline
2023-24 Academic Year
- With the beginning of the fall semester, more than 400 faculty, staff, and students volunteered to participate in the AI Working Group.
- Based on feedback provided by the campus community, the group restructured into four main focus areas with co-leads: Education, Industry, Research, and Society.
- The group periodically reviewed these areas to determine if new themes should be added as the AI landscape continues to evolve.
Summer 2023
- The summer 2023 AI Working Group—comprised of more than 60 University faculty, staff and students—organized into seven teams, each tasked with examining different aspects of AI on campus: access and equity, communication, data acumen, ethical considerations, industry and workforce, integrity in education, syllabus guidance, and training needs.
