Campus Survey of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage |
|
|
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field with numerous applications. In October, Provost Bethany Usher formed an AI task force to review Gov. Youngkin's Executive Directive 5, “Recognizing The Risks and Seizing the Opportunities of Artificial Intelligence,” and understand how the directive applies to Radford University.
A brief five- to 10-minute survey has been created to allow the campus community to provide feedback.
|
| |
|
Please take a few moments to complete this survey no later than Friday, Dec. 1.
Your responses will help us gain valuable insights into how AI is perceived and utilized. Your participation is highly appreciated.
