In 2024, UNO launched the state’s first-ever bachelor’s degree program in artificial intelligence. The Division of Innovative and Learning Centric Initiatives also launched the AI Learning Lab to equip faculty and staff with AI skills, infuse AI into coursework, identify opportunities for operational efficiency through the use of AI and amplify the ethical use of AI use throughout the UNO community. “Where some institutions might stop at simply preparing students for an AI-integrated workforce, UNO is thinking ahead by empowering our faculty and staff to drive innovation in teaching, research and campus operations,” AI Learning Lab program manager Cassie Mallette said. “By fostering a culture of responsible AI use and continuous learning, UNO is positioning itself and the state of Nebraska at the forefront of the next wave of technological progress.”
