Report of the Generative AI in Teaching and Learning Task Force

Natasha Heny and Andrew Pennock, co-chairs

The Generative AI in Teaching and Learning task force was formed in March 2023 to examine the implications of this technology for teaching and learning at UVA. The task force comprised six faculty members with expertise in artificial intelligence, pedagogy, and the intersection of those fields; it also included the chair of the Honor Committee. Between March and May of 2023, the task force engaged with approximately 300 faculty across six town halls and gathered survey responses from 504 students and 181 faculty. The task force also consulted external resources to learn more about the risks posed by this technology and its potential benefits, and examined how our peer institutions are responding to the rapid emergence and widespread availability of generative AI tools.
