2024 EDUCAUSE Action Plan: AI Policies and Guidelines - Jenay Robert Mark McCormack, EDUCAUSE

More than a year after the "AI spring" suddenly upended notions of what could be possible both inside and outside the classroom, most institutions are still racing to catch up and establish policies and guidelines that can help their leaders, staff, faculty, and students effectively and safely use these exciting and powerful new technologies and practices. Thankfully, institutions need not start from scratch in developing their AI policies and guidelines. Through the work of Cecilia Ka Yuk Chan and WCET, institutions have a foundation to build on, a policy framework that spans institutional governance, operations, and pedagogy. Built around these three pillars, this framework helps ensure that institutional AI-related policies and guidelines comprehensively address critical aspects of institutional life and functioning.
