UC San Diego faculty came together to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping teaching, research, and academic practice.

Watch the conversations
Moderated by Tricia Bertram-Gallant, Director of the Academic Integrity Office and the Triton Testing Center. Panelists examined how AI is changing the conditions for learning and what it means to design, facilitate, and assess student work when AI tools are widely available.
Moderated by Virginia de Sa, Professor of Cognitive Science and Interim Co-Director of the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute. Panelists explored how AI is being used across teaching and research, along with its implications for academic inquiry, collaboration, and the role of faculty.
See the work across disciplines
Across twelve talks, faculty showed how AI is being tested in teaching, advising, and personal decision support. The presentations cover personalized learning and tutoring, question-bank and lecture development, programming and writing instruction, and undergraduate AI literacy.
Other talks examine classroom chatbots and productive struggle, along with K–12 student curiosity. Health decision support and an AI faculty advisor extend the discussion beyond the classroom.

Faculty shared presentations, asked questions, joined panel conversations, and kept talking between sessions.
