Research Excellence

The integration of ethical AI into our society requires formative discovery and thoughtful decision making to build regulatory frameworks and ensure intellectual property and human rights are an inherent part of AI’s applications. As an R1 Research University, we believe our faculty and students can address real-world challenges by solving existing problems, while providing scalable solutions with broad impact. Our institution, and scholars across higher education as a whole, have a responsibility to develop scholarship that can help shape policy and regulatory frameworks for the future to come.

By integrating AI thoughtfully and ethically, academic institutions can harness its potential to enrich teaching and research while upholding the highest standards of academic integrity.
