Western University has launched a Generative AI Teaching Fellows program that will seek to cultivate and support the use of AI in teaching and learning across campus. Appointed fellows will undertake projects to expand the use of AI in the classroom and offer workshops and other professional development activities. “AI is a general purpose technology. Alone, it doesn’t do much,” said Western Chief AI Officer Mark Daley. “But paired with human creativity and determination, it is a powerful enabler of change.” The inaugural fellows will be Western Ivey Professor Guneet Kaur Nagpal, History Professor William Turkel, and Health Sciences Professor Andrews Tawiah.
