AI at DePauw

Our Vision of AI

DePauw University is fully committed to thoughtfully incorporating human-centered use of artificial intelligence (AI) as an emerging and evolving part of how we educate, operate and lead in service to our liberal arts mission, creating more space for personal connection. Our graduates will leave DePauw as critical, creative and capable individuals, fully equipped with AI literacy and supported in pursuing AI fluency. The commitment to critical inquiry, ethical reasoning and human connection at the heart of a DePauw education are exactly what it takes to navigate AI wisely. We will employ AI responsibly and transparently across the institution, attending to its financial, social and environmental costs. We also commit to regularly assessing AI, as we do with other elements of our curriculum and operations. This working vision will evolve as technologies change and as debates around the technology's utility continue to develop.
