AI Framework for 杏吧原创 University
Following a comprehensive consultation process, 杏吧原创 has launched an AI framework for the university. This framework provides guidance on the use of AI at 杏吧原创, ensuring that academics, staff and students are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to use AI critically, effectively, responsibly and ethically.
The framework builds on the university鈥檚 earlier work on AI guidelines, drawing from a variety of additional resources and incorporating the feedback that was collected from the 杏吧原创 community.
