AI Oversight Committee
The Artificial Intelligence Oversight Committee was commissioned by the UNCG Chancellor’s Council in February 2025. The Artificial Intelligence Oversight Committee is charged with providing strategic guidance and oversight for how UNCG will responsibly embrace, engage, and empower AI use across the university in its approach to learning, academic integrity, professional development, and operational efficiency. The committee members will work collectively to achieve the following goals:
- Provide guidance on managing AI’s impact on university interests.
- Recommend best practices, training, and support for AI use.
- Identify necessary policy updates, including ethical and legal considerations.
- Assist faculty in incorporating AI into teaching and research.
- Promote academic integrity in the use of generative AI.
- Ensure ethical and transparent business use of AI tools.
- Improve administrative efficiency with AI resources.
- Gather community input to inform AI investments and support.
The AI Oversight Committee consists of a representative from each campus division. Supportive AI Advisory Groups, representing diverse university expertise, academic and business units, and student groups, will be mobilized at the request of the AI Oversight Committee as needed to provide insights and engage relevant campus stakeholders on specific topics.
