University Advisory Committee on Artificial Intelligence
Committee reports to: Provost and Executive Vice President
The mission of the University Advisory Committee on Artificial Intelligence is to provide a forum in which representatives from across the university, bringing diverse perspectives and relevant expertise, help guide Mississippi State University’s beneficial, responsible, and forward-looking engagement with artificial intelligence. The committee exists to help the university and its students realize the promise of AI while prudently addressing its risks, promoting responsible use, protecting faculty autonomy, and encouraging wise judgment about the timing, scope, and manner of adoption so that MSU may remain a leader in innovation and academic excellence. Committee members will serve for two years. Half of the initial voting members shall serve one additional year so that no more than half of the voting membership rotates off in any given year.
