On December 8, 2023, Provost Feser announced the establishment of two groups AI@OSU Advisory Group and the AI@OSU Coordinating Team to facilitate the development of an institutional Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy, the coordination of work, and the sharing of information, aligning with OSU’s new strategic plan Prosperity Widely Shared: The Oregon State Plan. 

On January 26th, we invited you to submit a 1-page Concept Paper at this SUBMIT LINKby the deadline of March 15, 2024. Thank you to those of you who have already submitted your ideas. We strongly encourage the OSU community to continue to submit innovative ideas by the deadline. 

We now invite all faculty, staff and students who have expertise in Artificial Intelligence in any one of the four domains: AI Education, AI Economy, AI Knowledge and Powered by AI (see description and vision in the link to self-nominate below), to engage with us in developing a first draft for Oregon State University’s AI action plan.

To respond to this call, any faculty, staff or student with AI expertise can self-nominate to be selected as an AI Strategic Partner. Please fill out the form below to let us know details about yourself and a brief description of how you are using AI in your work at OSU by March 5, 2024.

Form to Self-Nominate as AI Strategic Partner

You may also submit your concept papers and apply to be considered as an AI Strategic Partner on the  Future AI website. Note: the link to surveys go to a Microsoft Form that requires an ONID account. 

Thank you for your time and efforts on behalf of Oregon State University!
