The President's Commission on Artificial Intelligence’s final report was shared this month with the campus community, culminating its charge by University of Maryland President Darryll J. Pines to “explore, evaluate and provide recommendations on the responsible development, deployment and ethical use of AI technologies” at UMD.
The report includes three recommendations: an AI council to ensure ethical, transparent, privacy-respecting use of AI; an AI accelerator to support exploration, community connection and organizational use of AI; and, a repository of AI tools for campus use.
The commission was made up of students, faculty and staff across campus, and led by Jen Golbeck, professor in the College of Information, and Axel Persaud, assistant vice president of enterprise engineering in the Division of Information Technology.
In a message to faculty and staff, Pines, Senior Vice President and Provost Jennifer King Rice and Vice President for IT and Chief Information Officer Jeff Hollingsworth said they are starting the process to consider and implement the commission’s recommendations.
