NC State AI Liaisons

Connecting colleagues across colleges and units to share knowledge, resources and best practices for AI.

What AI Liaisons Do

  • Connect colleagues with AI resources, tools and training opportunities
  • Share updates on university-supported AI initiatives and guidance
  • Promote responsible and effective AI use
  • Gather feedback and identify emerging needs within their units
  • Help strengthen communication between local units and university-wide AI efforts

Program Goals

The AI Liaison Program aims to:

  • Improve awareness of available AI tools and resources
  • Support responsible AI adoption
  • Reduce duplication of effort and encourage knowledge sharing
  • Create a stronger connection between local needs and university-wide AI strategy

Who Should Participate?

AI Liaisons are faculty and staff selected annually by college leadership to help their units stay informed about AI-related resources, opportunities and developments. Participants do not need to be AI experts; the program provides training, resources and ongoing support to help them serve as effective connectors across their units.
