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!
