Expanding the Ai Curriculum
You’ve integrated AI into your classroom, teaching, and practices. It’s time to unlock greater possibilities—and work to build new relationships, partnerships, and research projects.
Institutional Transformation Through AI
Artificial intelligence is more than just an efficiency tool. It’s transforming nearly every part of our world. Your students require more and more depth and complexity of AI integration into their programs in courses to be competitive in a workforce clamoring for AI talent. Here are a few ways you can take AI further, with examples from the University of Florida.
Build Interdisciplinary Alliances Across Campus
Alliances with other—even disparate or seemingly unrelated—departments and focus areas will bolster the strength and depth of AI use and understanding in your courses. Facilitate open collaboration to get support, test your theories and practices, build governance, and foster curiosity. Learn more about UF’s Interdisciplinary Informatics and Artificial Intelligence Research Institute.
Create More AI-Centric Course Designations
UF uses an AI course designation process to match courses to one of the following AI course designations: Use-AI, Know-AI, Build-AI, Ethical-AI, and Enable-AI. This helps students identify the level of AI expected in a course. These levels align with AI literacy skills. Find ways to move existing courses and create additional courses with even higher AI use and expectations.
Hold AI Events for Students and Faculty
Cross-disciplinary events to share AI work and knowledge help further engagement across campus. As an example, UF’s highly successful AI Days occurs annually with multi-day events dedicated to all things AI, from competitions designed to bring students’ ideas to life to engaging panels discussing AI and data science. Also, consider a workforce readiness session in collaboration with your career center.
Hold a Faculty In-Service Day on Generative AI
As you keep moving forward, encourage others take the first steps. Help others see generative AI and ChatGPT as a tool for inquiry and skill building. Hold dedicated events for faculty members across the institution to gain professional development around these technologies. These events will help address concerns, bust myths, and, ultimately, shine a light on the potential benefits of AI.

Students are going to look for AI at their university of choice, and if they can’t see it there, they’re going to vote with their feet and go somewhere else where they can get it.” —Joe Glover, Interim Provost, University of Florida
