The tech giant Amazon Web Services (AWS) and education nonprofit Educause have teamed up to develop a new assessment to gauge how higher-ed institutions are using generative AI tools and promoting responsible use of the emerging technology. The new Higher Education Generative AI Readiness Assessment offers users a list of questions designed to paint a picture of their institution’s readiness for adopting generative AI tools across three key areas: strategy and governance, capacity and expertise, and infrastructure. A recent news release said the assessment looks at the types of AI skills institutions are focusing on, as well as institutions’ policies and best practices around the use of AI.
