Promote Informed Decision-Making: Equip faculty with comprehensive knowledge about AI’s capabilities, limitations, and applications to help them make informed decisions about its integration into their classrooms.

Value Ethical Use: Emphasize the ethical use of AI, ensuring it is applied responsibly and with consideration of its impact on students and society.

Teach Bias Awareness: Educate faculty about the biases inherent in AI systems, fostering critical thinking and awareness of potential ethical issues.

Foster Open Dialogue: Encourage open and ongoing dialogue about AI, its benefits, and its challenges, creating a collaborative environment for learning and growth.

Focus on Student Learning: Prioritize the enhancement of student learning experiences, using AI as a tool to support, rather than replace, traditional teaching methods.

Commit to Continuous Learning: Recognize that AI is an evolving field and commit to continuous learning and adaptation, staying informed about new developments and best practices.
