Initial feedback reflects concerns around academic integrity, societal impacts of AI, and the need for training resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n                            <p><i  style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\" class=\"fa-sharp-duotone fa-solid fa-link\"><\/i>\n                                <a  style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\" class=\"copy-accordion-link\" href=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/807?panel=april-2025\">Link\n                                    to this item <span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/li>\n                \n                    <li class=\"accordion-list-item\" id=\"march-2025\">\n                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-6a5615d7a1147-10\" aria-controls=\"section-6a5615d7a1147-10\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                            <h3>                        <i class=\"\"\" style=\"color: #CC0033\"><\/i>\n                        March 2025<\/h3>\n                        <\/button>\n                        <div id=\"section-6a5615d7a1147-10\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-6a5615d7a1147-10\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n                            <p>The AI@Rutgers initiative is making progress on multiple fronts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More than 80 experts from across the university are now contributing to the initiative, addressing critical questions to help shape Rutgers\u2019 approach to AI.<\/li>\n<li>The initiative website now includes a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/it.rutgers.edu\/ai\/initiative\/#contact\">feedback channel<\/a>\u00a0for members of the Rutgers community to submit questions and inquiries.
