Generative artificial intelligence (gen AI or just AI) tools are rapidly developing. Here's how to get started.
AI Tools at St. Edward's
Many, if not most, of the tools you'll use during the average day on the hilltop have integrated AI features in the last few years. Where applicable, IET has reviewed and enabled these features so that they are compliant with the university's Technology Selection Policy.
Curious to see everything available? IET staff maintain a non-exhaustive list of AI-enabled products in use on campus.
Some tools (like the Zoom Meeting AI Companion) have entire articles to help you use them. Search "AI" to find all of our articles about AI at St. Edward's.
Where do I learn how to use AI tools?
Students
- Join the Munday Library Canvas course! Librarians have prepared a module called Getting Started with Generative AI. The module includes information, videos, and activities to give students an introduction to generative AI, when (and when not) to use it, prompt engineering, how to evaluate output, and ethical considerations around its use.
Faculty
- Engage with the Generative AI Faculty Hub to access on-demand resources, find policies and guidelines, share model assignments, and connect with experienced faculty. Help IET guide how generative AI is used at St. Edward's! Contact IET support for access.
Staff
- Get up to speed on using AI with a curated LinkedIn Learning course. Using Chat with Gemini as an example, learn how to prompt a chatbot for relevant results across multiple requests and take care of tasks across a wide range.
Security
AI tools interact with vast amounts of data and information to function. All Hilltoppers should be mindful of their cybersecurity when using AI, like any other digital tool. See our stance on cybersecurity and AI.
