MU has joined national trends of bringing the new wave of artificial intelligence into the classroom. With generative AI tools like ChatGPT launching publicly in the winter of 2022, MU faculty are engaging with AI through help from the Teaching for Learning Center. Professors at MU are using AI in research to accelerate work in a number of different fields. One of these professors is Chi-Ren Shyu, director of the MU Institute for Data Science and Informatics and professor of electrical engineering and computer science. In March 2022, Shyu led the AI approach of an MU study using data to explore Type 1 diabetes diagnoses. He now leads the effort to help faculty across departments use AI and similar tools in their own lessons and research.
