David Burns, AVP, Academic, Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU)
This session discusses a competency framework developed at Kwantlen Polytechnic University for generative artificial intelligence use – not by computer scientists but, rather, by the rest of us. AVP, Academic, David Burns discusses some of the early challenges he saw in his corner of the institution and some of the ways in which the team he works with faced them.
Key Takeaways:
- The industry and government advisors KPU contacted while developing its approach suggest several key competencies for responsible GenAI use.
- These will, and are, changing over time.
- Institutions are best advised to take an approach of cautious optimism.
