The first recommendation is that 51ÁÔÆæ broadly adopt a cautious and critical approach to AI technologies and their incorporation into all of the activities of faculty, staff, and students. The Workgroup\u2019s second recommendation is to create a framework for the use of AI technologies at 51ÁÔÆæ and by 51ÁÔÆæ faculty\/staff\/students\/researchers that allows for the flexible use of such technologies \u2013 recognizing that these technologies and the landscape is changing at a rapid pace \u2013 while ensuring that AI technologies are used ethically, consistent with 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s mission and within the parameters of applicable laws and 51ÁÔÆæ\/UW policies, including FERPA, intellectual property and data protection security<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend that this framework include the following elements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The development of a campus-wide policy that affirms 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s commitment to engaging AI technologies responsibly and in a way consistent with its mission and values. It would include the following additional key elements:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A scope statement that makes clear the breadth of campus activity to which it applies (e.g., individual uses, classroom spaces, campus purchases, partnerships, etc.).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A statement that our engagement with AI technologies should be treated with caution, and include input of all stakeholders, including faculty and staff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A statement that 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s engagement with AI will always be guided first by ethical considerations, regardless of their potential impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An acknowledgement that AI technologies are not wholly positive phenomena and must be critically assessed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An acknowledgement that AI technologies reach across all disciplines, and that all disciplines should be included in their ongoing critical assessment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The creation of guidance documents\/procedures where additional or more detailed guidance would be beneficial. Unlike more comprehensive policies, guidance documents are likely to focus on a more narrow AI-technology-related issue that impacts a smaller subset of the 51ÁÔÆæ community, and should be developed by and\/or with input from subject matter experts and stakeholders. (See guidance documents mentioned above.) These guidance documents and any existing documents should be consistent with any AI technology-related policies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The regular and ongoing collection of information about AI technologies use on campus through the use of surveys and any other relevant methodologies. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The opportunity for consultation and review of decisions\/policies\/procedures by impacted stakeholders. This includes, for example, faculty\/staff\/UITS governance groups (either through existing mechanisms or as needed, newly developed ones), subject matter experts, other stakeholders and leadership.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The incorporation of ethical considerations regarding AI technologies into existing or new mandatory training for faculty, staff and students that includes as a minimum: a) what is generative AI; b) the scope of AI use in university contexts; c) ethical considerations in AI use; and d) types of AI tools. Given the dynamic nature of generative AI, these training materials should be regularly updated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The creation, as needed, of oversight processes\/review committees\/working groups for uses of AI technologies where there are heightened ethical or legal concerns. This may include oversight of:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The use of generative AI in research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The use of non-51ÁÔÆæ owned intellectual property to train homegrown AI tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The procurement of AI-related software (e.g., for contract provisions that allow for data use to \u201ctrain\u201d the AI software and\/or claim ownership of inputs)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\"><nav aria-label=\"Sidebar\" class=\"uwm-p-navigation-list uwm-p-navigation-list--gold-border \"><div class=\"uwm-p-navigation-list--title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/ai\/taskforce\/\">AI Taskforce<\/a><\/div><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/ai\/taskforce\/artificial-intelligence-taskforce-final-report\/\">Artificial Intelligence Taskforce Final Report<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/ai\/taskforce\/responsible-ai-workgroup-final-report\/\">Responsible AI Workgroup Final Report<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/ai\/taskforce\/responsible-ai-workgroup-final-report\/history-of-ai-and-general-critical-considerations\/\">History of AI and General Critical Considerations<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/ai\/taskforce\/responsible-ai-workgroup-final-report\/lessons-from-other-institutions\/\">Lessons from Other Institutions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/ai\/taskforce\/responsible-ai-workgroup-final-report\/ai-technologies-at-uwm\/\">AI Technologies at 51ÁÔÆæ<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"current\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/ai\/taskforce\/responsible-ai-workgroup-final-report\/summary-of-recommendations\/\"><span aria-current=\"page\">Summary of Recommendations<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/ai\/taskforce\/responsible-ai-workgroup-final-report\/conclusion\/\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/ai\/taskforce\/responsible-ai-workgroup-final-report\/appendix\/\">Appendix<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":37709,"featured_media":0,"parent":377,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"class_list":["post-471","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
