About GENAI

The Generative AI Task Force for Teaching and Learning is charged with facilitating conversations among faculty and students about the role of generative AI in teaching and learning. The task force is also reviewing a broad range of sources to identify opportunities and challenges posed by generative AI for teaching and learning, and studying how our peer institutions are responding to the emergence of this technology. This work will culminate in a set of recommendations about how UVA can leverage the opportunities and manage the challenges of this technology in the near term.

This spring, the task force is facilitating conversations among faculty and students about the role of generative AI in teaching and learning.

We are participating in a Learning Community Cluster with 13 other institutions. Through deep engagement with colleagues across the country, we are asking a fundamental question: What would it take for institutions to make a comprehensive shift from deficit- to achievement-oriented frameworks in their approaches to the introductory science experience?
