The goal of the AI Digest is to keep ECU staff up-to-date with the latest developments in AI to inform teaching and research practice. In addition to providing information, this is a platform where you can actively participate in discussions about AI, exchange best practices and insights from your experiences, and discuss your application of AI tools in the context of ECU policy and ECU's Framework for the Productive and Ethical use of AI. Each bi-weekly issue will highlight practical uses, outline case studies, or provide tips to help you navigate this rapidly evolving phenomenon.
