AI Council Subcommittees
The UC AI Council's Subcommittees—Innovation and Impact; Risk and Transparency; and Awareness and Education—play a pivotal role in advancing the implementation of the UC Responsible AI Principles. They foster a comprehensive understanding of AI technologies, ensuring the university community is well-prepared for the evolving AI landscape. Through their strategic guidance and support, the UC system is better equipped to leverage AI technologies in alignment with our values and mission.
Awareness and Education
The AI Council Subcommittee on Awareness and Education aims to foster a knowledgeable and engaged community that is well-equipped to navigate, contribute to, and harness the evolving field of AI application in higher education. The Subcommittee focuses on coordinating, and promoting comprehensive engagement and awareness programs for the UC system by sharing up-to-date information, events, and best practices related to AI within the UC community.
Risk and Transparency
The AI Council Subcommittee on Risk and Transparency helps stakeholders across the University of California understand and assess the risk associated with the use of artificial intelligence, identify strategies to mitigate risk, and connect to the appropriate resources to help address risk. The Subcommittee fosters transparency within the University of California community, and to the public, regarding UC’s current and potential uses of AI. By enhancing transparency, UC aims to better assess potential risks and opportunities, evaluate experiences and outcomes and inform future initiatives that ensure responsible AI use and promote efficiency, civil liberties, autonomy and equitable outcomes.
Innovation and Impact
The Innovation and Impact Subcommittee works to advance high-impact AI initiatives across UC campuses, promote collaboration, sharing of best practices, development of an AI inventory, and to align UC efforts with state, federal, and industry initiatives for the responsible and transformative use of AI.
