Designing IMSA's Al Future: Human centered Al and Ethics Intern

The focus Of IMSA Al Center for Al Human Centered Al and Ethics is advancing responsible artificial intelligence development and encouraging ethical considerations and conversations in education, research, and institutional policy. To do this, we focused on curriculum development. We designed and implemented an Al Ethics course, workshops, and interessions such as Teaching and Learning in the Age Of Generative Al, Writing to Make Generative Al Useful (Prompt Engineering), and Independent Al Lab Projects. We also expanded on the LE Il Reviews ChatGPT project where students engaged in critical evaluation Of large language models to enhance their Al literacy skills. Additionally, three Al-focused computer science courses with a focus on ethics were developed for AY 2025-2026. This year's community engagement included quarterly Al and ethics programs and Al Bytes discussions on Al in Education, Politics, and Economics, Ethics of DeepSeek, and Copyright and Consent in Generative Al. The second annual Al Book Read was based around Co-intelligence by Ethan Mollick. With a $30,000 grant, the Center acquired Al development tools, robotics kits, Al glasses, and Khanmigo Al for ethical Al education. ChatGPT for Teams was introduced to engage faculty in responsible Al use. Our department was able to help students develop an awareness Of ethics in Al. We hope to continue this with policy development and community conversations focused on Al ethics.
