Welcome to the Academic Applications of AI (AAAI), an ongoing effort of the IT Division and its campus partners to empower faculty and students to leverage AI in education and research creatively and responsibly.
SDSU’s Academic Applications of AI Micro-Credential prepares students, faculty, and staff to apply generative AI technology efficiently, effectively, and ethically to level up teaching, learning, and research across disciplines.
AI Academic Fellows are a vibrant community of faculty and students dedicated to researching AI in higher education. They engage with cutting-edge studies and thoughtfully consider AI's effects on teaching, learning, and research at SDSU.
SDSU’s AI Across the Curriculum initiative ensures all students graduate AI-competent, regardless of major. Faculty will model responsible, discipline-specific AI use. One faculty member per major will embed AI into a required course, aligning with learning outcomes and expanding exposure to ethical AI practices.
