[Air-L] Help us collect university AI policies and guidelines?

[amarkham at gmail.com]

   Dear AoIR-ists,


   Some of us at the [1]Futures + Literacies + Methods Lab are starting a
   new short turnaround analysis of sociotechnical imaginaries regarding
   GenAI in higher education. We are seeking your help to crowdsource
   GenAI policy and/or guidelines documents from universities around the
   world to identify common trends or themes.


   Please contribute!

   Why? In an effort to respond to the evolving landscape of the use of
   Gen AI for knowledge-making processes, Universities are rapidly
   revising or developing new policies to adapt to GenAI use by students,
   educators, staff, and researchers. How do these documents situate and
   imagine AI in the context of higher education, knowledge production,
   and epistemic authority?


   How to contribute: Donated documents for analysis could be in the form
   of links to publicly accessible documents or pages, or an uploaded copy
   of a webpage or document in PDF We are collecting links on this google
   document: [2]https://bit.ly/Uni-policies-AI-crowdsourcing (includes a
   form if you want to upload documents; does not require any login)


   Note: Analytical findings be aggregated. We don’t seek to highlight
   particular universities and their policies, but rather, to identify
   trends. We do not identify this as a high-risk or ethically problematic
   study, but a scoping study with good potential to help share common
   frames, build stronger policies, and identify potential pitfalls in how
   AI is being framed in the context of higher education.


   Not sure what to donate?

   Anything. Any policy or guideline material from your university is
   useful for us. Documentation can be:

   --partial, in progress, or complete

   --New or old

   --university-wide or faculty/discipline-specific

   --Any language


   We will do the work of sorting everything once we see how many and what
   type of documents we are getting from this snowball sampling method.

   If you want to be involved in the study in some way, or be informed of
   the results of our analysis, drop a line to

   Thanks in advance, and please feel free to share this request for
   participation.


   Warm regards from, and with ultimate FOMO about not being at the
   conference this week in Brazil,
