The Administrative Working Group is tasked with providing guidance and recommendations on the development, implementation, and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies within the university\u2019s administrative units.\u00a0The group aims to enhance administrative efficiency, transparency, and ethical standards by developing policies, guidelines, and frameworks that align with the university\u2019s mission and values. The group will foster community engagement, shared governance, and supportive processes to effectively integrate AI technology across the university\u2019s administrative operations. The initial focus of the group includes efficient administration and operations (streamlining administrative processes, expanding smart campus infrastructure), ethical AI integration (appropriate policies for ethical use of AI, bias mitigation, and ensuring inclusivity and diversity), cybersecurity (protecting data and digital assets), community and industry engagement (strategic collaborations with tech companies, community engagement, leveraging vendor relationships), and sustainable AI practices (green AI, appropriate resource allocation).<\/p>\n
