Figuring out how to use generative AI responsibly at one university campus is challenging enough – what happens when you’re tasked with doing it across 64 of them? 

In today’s podcast episode, Dr. Cristi Ford chats with Kim Scalzo, Interim Senior Associate Provost for Digital Innovation and Academic Services at the State University of New York (SUNY). SUNY is in the process of integrating generative AI across all 64 of its campus locations. 

Dr. Ford and Scalzo discuss the challenges and strategies that come with rolling out AI at scale. Scalzo highlights various initiatives, including the formation of task groups, professional development courses, and the creation of AI literacy competencies for students. Scalzo also shares insights on the ethical and responsible implementation of AI, addressing challenges such as data privacy and the need for policy guidance.
