The Research Working Group is focused on evaluating and defining the current AI landscape related to research activities at Rutgers. Through active engagement with stakeholders, the group gathers insights and communicates the organization\u2019s AI strategy relevant to research activities. The group aims to develop and recommend policies and procedures that address the ethical, legal, and social implications of AI technologies used in research, while also identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with AI applications that affect research initiatives. Additionally, it advises on promoting AI literacy and recommends training opportunities for staff and students regarding AI technologies and their implications for research.<\/p>\n
