Integrating AI in the classroom

Two projects from the University at Buffalo School of Management recently received seed grant funding from the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs to integrate generative artificial intelligence into course and curricular design. 

Focusing on AI literacy that has already been incorporated into coursework for students in the Information Technology and Management program, Kevin Cleary, clinical assistant professor of management science and systems, is leading a project titled Visualizing the Guts of Generative Pre-Transforms and Large Language Models.

Dominic Sellitto, clinical assistant professor of management science and systems, is leading a project titled EASE (Educational AI Support for Everyone) using local AI open source platforms to build guided tools for students, faculty and staff. 

Both Cleary and Sellitto will work with the UB's Office of Curriculum, Assessment and Teaching Transformation to assess the project's impact on student learning and participate in an associated AI learning community throughout the academic year.
