Read the storyArtificial intelligence, put to work.
We teach AI, research it, and build it into how the University operates, so every student, faculty and staff member can use it, innovate, and grow together.
Our AI Strategy
Syracuse University prepares students, faculty, and staff to wield AI with judgment and purpose as its uses and limitations come into focus, produces research and scholarship that expands what is possible with AI and names what is not, and is building an institution that adapts at the pace of the technology itself.
Teaching and learning: We are reimagining pedagogy in a world where AI is ubiquitous. We aspire to engage each student in critical consideration of AI's role in their personal, professional, and civic lives.
Research: Our research and scholarship ground AI in the disciplinary depth that creating new knowledge demands so that our faculty and students understand how AI can responsibly advance their work.
Operations: We are deploying AI to develop systems driven by human judgment, allowing greater efficiency and less friction in service to our Syracuse University community.
