UK ADVANCE Advancing Data utilization for Value in Academics for National and Campus-wide Excellence
The transdisciplinary UK ADVANCE Team exists to define and develop recommendations for responsible use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) at the University of Kentucky. The team will provide ongoing guidance to the campus community to achieve the university’s mission for education, research, clinical care and service.
Specifically, the team will determine questions to answer through research and innovation; understand potential generative AI programmatic biases; embrace the university’s mission to advance the Commonwealth; and develop strategic communication and effective education throughout the campus community.
As a result, faculty, staff and students will discover tools available to help them become familiar with generative AI. Faculty will understand its applications and implications, especially in the areas of assessment design and detection.
If you have questions about how generative AI impacts you at UK, or if you have questions about the ongoing work of the ADVANCE Team, please email us at UKADVANCE@uky.edu.
Clinical Guidelines
The use of AI presents many areas of caution, particularly as it relates to clinical care settings. These guidelines and recommendations specifically address generative AI as a particular type of AI technology and a growing set of tools with increasingly multimodal capabilities.
Faculty Guidelines
Generative AI is a rapidly evolving technology. The spring 2024 guidelines reflect our best understanding at the current time and may be updated to reflect the nature of the field as it continues to change.
Research Recommendations
Generative AI tools have the potential of advancing and enhancing research and scholarly endeavors when used responsibly. These recommendations are for all faculty, staff and trainees who engage in this work.
CELT
The Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT) provides numerous resources for faculty and all instructors, especially materials related to understanding and incorporating generative AI in course curricula.
University Senate
The University Senate provides recommendations — including sample language for a course syllabus — on how to manage AI/ML in the classroom.
