So if you are one of these co-chairs or a current co-chair or a member of the task force, would you just wave so we can thank you for your service to the university.

They’ve also helped stand up training for all of you in a very short amount of time. They’ve met with AI task force members, with our leadership, and with many of you over the last few months to ensure that Boise State is responding to generative AI developments in thoughtful, ethical, and meaningful ways. The task force was formed early last spring because these forward-looking colleagues were paying close attention to developments in generative AI and they wanted to make sure that our campus would be ready for the big changes to come. First, I want to thank the inaugural co-chairs of Boise State’s AI Task Force, Ti Macklin, Leif Nelson, Dan Sanford, Amy Vecchione, and Sarah Wilson. Before I introduce President Tromp, I want to call your attention to the important work that has led us to today’s event. I’m the Associate Dean of the College of Innovation and Design. Welcome to today’s presidential address and faculty panel on AI, Boise State, and the future of higher education. Staff from the Center for Teaching and Learning, eCampus Center, Academic Integrity Program and Learning Technology Solutions are all available for consultations on redesigning courses, assignments and assessments around the emergence of powerful, freely available AI tools. For on-going, up to date information on available programming, please visit the AI In Education events calendar. There will be many additional opportunities throughout the semester ahead to learn more about teaching & learning with AI.

Participants will consider how they might use these tools to support teaching and learning–including how to respond to students’ use of AI. Participants learn what today’s tools can and can’t do, and have an opportunity to try them.

Artificial Intelligence 101 provides a basic introduction to AI tools that generate text.

The AI in Education Taskforce has organized a number of offerings to provide educators the opportunity to engage with generative AI, and to consider the ways they might change their syllabus and instructional methods as a response.

Sarah Wilson, academic program integrity director in the Office of the Dean of Students.

Brad Weigle, clinical assistant professor in the College of Innovation and Design.

Amy Vecchione, assistant director of research and innovation for Boise State eCampus.

Steven Hyde, assistant professor of management in the College of Business and Economics.

The panel discussion was moderated by Jen Schneider, assistant dean in the College of Innovation and Design. University panelists then shared their perspectives, ideas and resources for faculty. We know this tool has the power to do harm. We know this tool has the power to do great good.

“Responding to these questions in an interdisciplinary way is going to be key,” Tromp said. Marlene Tromp recently addressed an audience of faculty and staff gathered to hear how artificial intelligence is affecting higher education and what questions should be asked by educators as these tools evolve.
