AI Innovation and Enablement
Got an AI question?
We can help.
Advisory, training, pilots, and shared tools to help campus units use AI responsibly.
What we do
- 1
AI Advisory
Help campus units understand what AI can (and can't) do for them, assess fit, and figure out responsible next steps.
e.g., helping a service unit decide whether a chatbot vendor is the right fit for a knowledge-base problem.
- 2
AI Literacy and Training
Workshops, office hours, demos, role-based guidance, and reusable learning materials.
e.g., a hands-on prompting workshop tailored to administrative staff.
- 3
AI Pilots and Experiments
Quick, low-risk experiments to test whether an AI approach actually works before committing to a full build.
e.g., a four-week pilot of a meeting-summary assistant with a small department.

Platforms, Standards, and Shared Capabilities
Approved tools, responsible-use standards, reusable templates, and common patterns so teams aren't starting from scratch.
e.g., a reviewed list of approved tools and a reusable prompt template library.
- 5
Campus AI Trends
Keeping track of what AI work is happening across campus so we can spot duplicates, share what's working, and flag opportunities.
e.g., spotting that five units have asked for the same policy-search assistant and proposing a shared solution.
