MCW released guiding principles for artificial intelligence use in April 2024. The principles are applicable to all faculty, staff, and students conducting MCW business in any of the four missions. The core of these principles is engaging in human-centered AI, with transparency being crucial to fostering open communication around AI use and decision making.
