University of the Pacific faculty and staff are learning innovative ways to prepare students for the evolving challenges and opportunities of artificial intelligence as part of an inaugural AI institute.
Pacific is one of 124 higher education institutions from around the country selected for the American Association of Colleges and Universities’ Institute on AI, Pedagogy and the Curriculum to explore varying uses for AI across all disciplines, from computer science to dentistry to business.
