GMU College of Science

Our College is cultivating many internal, research-based, and community partnerships to utilize the power of AI for enhanced education and community good. Thank you to our faculty sharing time and ideas while serving on AI task forces at the unit, college, university, and state levels, and to those planning to participate in the upcoming AI discussion and outreach events, (the college supported March 28 AI in Learning event (with long time partner Dyslexic Edge and also aiEDU), this week’s announcement of the CMAI and CFD collaborative Digital Twins Lab (partnering with AFROC, Sandia National Labs and SIEMENS), still time to register for the national ECOM event in April, and will share details on the George Mason-SCHEV AI Summit for Education in May as they become available. We are proactively exploring how the college can better understand, continue to innovate, in our shared quest to succeed given the opportunities AI presents.

Shehu said George Mason can harness its own ecosystem of AI teaching, cutting-edge research, partnerships, and incubators for entrepreneurs to establish a virtuous cycle between foundational and user-inspired AI research within ethical frameworks.

As part of this effort, the university’s AI Task Force, established by President Gregory Washington last year, has developed new guidelines to help the university navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI technologies, which are available at gmu.edu/ai-guidelines.
