Duke faculty, students, trainees and staff are engaging with artificial intelligence in a multitude of ways. A new initiative led by Provost Alec D. Gallimore seeks to reflect this diversity of approach, encourage engagement with tools and services, and contribute to a global conversation about the new horizons that AI can open up for us, and how to keep it from exacerbating some of our greatest challenges.
Early last year, Gallimore first envisioned bringing together Duke faculty and academic leadership who are leading work that develops, uses, studies, or otherwise engages with AI. To lead this new initiative, he tapped Yakut Gazi, vice provost for learning innovation and digital education; Michael Pencina, chief data scientist for Duke Health and vice dean for data science at the School of Medicine; and Joseph Salem, Rita DiGiallonardo Holloway University Librarian and vice provost for library affairs.
