We welcome all perspectives on Artificial Intelligence, at all levels of expertise.
Whether you're an enthusiastic early adopter or "never AI", AI literacy is our shared
responsibility in higher education.
Responsible AI@ICT is a working group at Wichita State University that brings together
researchers from all disciplines to collaborate in intelligently shaping our future
in this new era of AI, through translational research that takes special care with
respect to how AI is developed and integrated into our world.
Our aims include both using AI to solve real problems that could not otherwise be
solved and several forms of restraint: using AI only when it is it the right tool
for the job, curbing pernicious uses of AI, minimizing the environmental footprint
of AI, and exercising well-informed care in change management as AI is integrated
into our lives. Responsible AI thus requires domain expertise from the ground up in
every field, from history, philosophy, and the social sciences to health, business,
the arts, and STEM fields.
Formerly known as the AI Interest Group, we have evolved into an active research and
educational group. Members receive calendar invitations for meetings events, have
access to the group chat, and share resources related to a variety of interests ranging
from workflow uses to development to current topics like "AI brain fry".
On Friday, July 17, Rachel Bastian will lead a workshop on AI in operations at WSU. Stay tuned for details. Join or request the calendar invitation to get the updates.
Join Responsible AI@ICT to have a drink, a snack, and a chat about what's new in AI and in your world. Third Fridays, 4:00pm at Social Tap Drinkery on the main WSU Campus, beginning in June. (In honor of Juneteenth, we'll socialize on Thursday, June 18.)
Curious how AI is transforming real workplaces beyond crafting polished emails and presentations? Join Troy Tabor on Saturday, April 25, 2026, 10:00am-12:30pm in RS 265 Lucas Room for an interactive workshop to explore real-world examples and reimagine everyday workflows through hands-on exercises.
Join us at our next meeting in Lindquist 528 and on Teams at 2pm Wednesday, 15, 2026. We'll discuss recent AI developments, ideas for the self-serve training shelf, our next events, and ways to coordinate with the WSU AI Strategy Council, particularly in matters related to AI ethics.
