AI COLLECTIVE: Shaping our Future, Together

Connect, Discover, Discuss, Explore, and Experiment

What is the AI Collective?

Hosted at the futurEDlab on the City Campus, the AI Collective is a recurring, inclusive, low-pressure, multidisciplinary forum, driven by a collaboration between faculty, staff, and the IT Innovation + Research team. It is designed for the GVSU community to CONNECT, DISCOVER, DISCUSS, EXPLORE, and EXPERIMENT with AI in a low-stakes environment.

Our focus is to move beyond technical instruction to focus on practical application and shared expertise, with responsibility, ethical stewardship, and the preservation of critical thinking in a rapidly evolving landscape. Our goal is to position GVSU as a leader in human-centered innovation, where technology is leveraged to enhance education and empower every member of our community to thrive.

The AI Collective is not a "computer lab" - it is a community kitchen. We don't just talk about the recipe (the purpose) or only look at the ingredients (the tools); we cook together, taste the results (evaluate output), and build a menu that is delightful!

Let's navigate AI together!

Why Your Voice Matters - We Need You!

We are navigating AI together, in community. We are actively seeking faculty and staff to join us! To Join, simply RSVP to a monthly meetup so you can stay up-to-date and contribute to this ongoing conversation.
