OFFICE OF THE PROVOST


*This message is being sent to all students, staff, faculty and academic
personnel across the University of Washington.*

Dear faculty, staff and students,

Earlier this year, President Cauce and I launched an AI Task Force
<https://we.discover.uw.edu/NTI3LUFIUi0yNjUAAAGWT21nWtPp9HyzckJmWBystq8PsFs64bcf1k8CRs2ynFKdLItQc1eFhYRornSvTTOyaBDewp0=>
to imagine a bold vision for the UW that leverages our leadership in
artificial intelligence research to advance all aspects of our mission. The
task force has articulated a framework for this vision, and decisions on
our path forward depend on your input.

As we shape the University’s vision and strategy for artificial
intelligence, it is imperative that each of us — faculty, staff and
students — has the opportunity to contribute our thoughts, ideas and
concerns about this powerful technology to ensure that the plans we develop
match our opportunities and aspirations. We are seeking as many
perspectives as possible as we explore AI’s potential and limitations for
our teaching, research, work and students’ success.

One way to share your input on AI in general and the AI Task Force report
<https://we.discover.uw.edu/NTI3LUFIUi0yNjUAAAGWT21nWr69s1B8cOV6h7RHuM8I7nXlNTkyq4qJtTq0qr2OvsL_zPkRRrz4NExYIQOQ5EG0C3o=>
is through the *University-wide survey
<https://we.discover.uw.edu/NTI3LUFIUi0yNjUAAAGWT21nWrkP7omEOCmGJM-rfKIH2GwQVD4dwLRVVEZ3xdetAwzDbom1obTpsEbR2YKRYGstH1Y=>,
open until 5 p.m., Friday, Oct. 25*. The other is by attending one of the
upcoming online town halls, presented by the AI Task Force. We’ll start
with a *“What is AI?” online town hall at noon, Thursday, Oct. 24*
<https://we.discover.uw.edu/NTI3LUFIUi0yNjUAAAGWT21nWmfgWycWOD0JMZyanNRBt_SJFtOs4aGgxK_gitSNCnY2UfUz9bPvzCWjb5J7Nk8pqF8=>,
designed to build a shared understanding of AI’s foundations,
opportunities, potential and risks. This session will set the stage for
future discussions by demystifying AI and exploring how it may impact our
work, research, and daily lives.

The next session will be on *“AI for Research and Research in AI” at noon,
Wednesday, Oct. 30.
<https://we.discover.uw.edu/NTI3LUFIUi0yNjUAAAGWT21nWnLeegX1IFFWVYsITsTO9Iv3u1eCKSpCQynlxGp0j7h5Y3ORqRySPQCmeU2ouKmZ7-U=>*
