Webinar | Member QuickTalk | Drafting an Institutional AI Policy

Swiftly following the exhilaration of the new AI Revolution, educational institutions scrambled to initiate discussions revolving around the development of institutional AI Policies. A few institutions led the charge, defining the do’s and don’ts of AI use, while many are stuck somewhere in between approval, development, and conception.

This QuickTalk will share unique origin stories of AI policy development and evolution. From high-level institutional policies to individual course syllabi policies, we will share in this journey together. During this collaborative session, we will discuss a potential policy design framework that includes: the types of questions that are helpful to drive the right conversations, how to find an appropriate balance of voices within an institution, strategies to support stakeholders in adopting these policies, and the flexibility and adaption needed to keep up with the rapid changes circling AI tools.

Participants are invited to bring an institutional policy, whether in progress or published publicly as well as reflections on their own policy journeys, and we will collectively add to this framework. Even if you are not directly involved in policy development, your participation will add value to this nascent effort.
