ICYMI: The 2024 AI Institute
Over 250 UNC Charlotte faculty, staff, students, administrators, and industry partners convened at the Dubois Center for the 2nd Annual Charlotte AI Institute for Smarter Learning, pushing the boundaries on how Al can help students’ critical thinking and creative pursuits. Over 33 faculty and academic staff presented their best work on integrating or supporting AI in the curriculum.
A student panel was highlighted in the program, and they stressed how the future of learning will be more personalized and tailored to each individual’s needs.
We look forward to the third AI institute in May 2025!
