The project will be bringing together students, faculty, and staff to get upskilled on the issue of AI, and then engage in deliberation process about utilizing the benefits of AI in academia, staying mindful of its threat to academic integrity.
This project aims to create publicly sourced recommendations for the ethical use of AI software and tools at universities through participatory democracy methods.
By doing this, we will achieve the following objectives:
-
– Build trust among students, faculty, and staff by putting them on an equal footing and giving them the option to deliberate openly and freely.
-
– Empower students to take the lead and run the participatory process.
-
– Broaden the perspectives on the ethical use of AI at across partner universities by developing as set of recommendations.
