AI at CISA | College of Integrative Sciences and Arts

Your guide to navigating AI in higher education and beyond

As AI rapidly transforms the way we teach, learn and work, the AI Task Force at the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts is here to help our community navigate this ever evolving tool with curiosity, confidence and collaboration.

No matter how advanced AI becomes, we are committed to human expertise, creativity and ethical decision-making remaining at the center of our work.

Just as AI can enhance education, research and the workplace, it’s our responsibility to guide it wisely. This page and blog embody that philosophy, offering insights and tools that empower you to engage with AI critically and effectively. We’re excited to embark on this journey with you and hope you read on to stay in the loop.
