To help navigate the unprecedented scale and speed of this technology, we established the Generative Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee. This group – comprising faculty, staff, and students across all segments of U-M – is assessing the opportunities and challenges, as well as advising campus leadership and the wider community on how U-M can navigate responsible technological development and integration. The committee’s initial recommendations included establishing a University-wide initiative to leverage GenAI in developing tools and methodologies for AI-augmented education and research. The committee also focused on best-practice standards to ensure privacy protection, data-use controls, and research integrity when using GenAI. To implement these recommendations, we have begun making strategic investments to harness the technology for our campus community and be a leader not only in the field but also in its ethical use.
