Generative AI

Faculty at KSU need to be prepared to use Generative AI appropriately for productivity and with their students in class. Familiarity with AI will help faculty to stay at the forefront of technological advancements, better prepare students for the evolving job market, and contribute to interdisciplinary collaboration and research. It also positions faculty to address the ethical and societal implications of AI, fostering a more comprehensive and forward-thinking educational experience.  

AI Guidance for Faculty                                   

Faculty wanting to use Artificial Intelligence to improve productivity in grading, writing, and research should be cautious entering student data or intellectual property into these systems. To ensure data security and FERPA compliance, faculty should use Microsoft's Copilot once signed in using their KSU Microsoft credentials (NetID). To be sure you are using the protected enterprise version of this chat look for this statement above the chat box in green: Your personal and company data are protected in this chat. To log in, visit copilot.microsoft.com/. AI is advancing very quickly, and this guidance is likely to change with future advances.
