Thomas Edison State University (TESU), in collaboration with the New Jersey State Library (NJSL), announces the formation of a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Task Force. This initiative aims to guide the integration of AI technologies across the university and library, ensuring these innovations align with the strategic goals and ethical standards of both institutions.
The AI Task Force has been established to support leadership across TESU and NJSL in integrating AI into various organizational operations and enhancing the educational experiences of students. The task force will focus on key areas such as AI-driven tools for business processes, data analytics, student services and institutional initiatives. By doing so, the task force plans to ensure that these efforts are consistent with TESU’s and NJSL’s strategic initiatives and ethical principles.
TESU President Merodie A. Hancock, Ph.D., expressed her support for the initiative.
“At TESU, we are committed to preparing our students and staff for the future, and the formation of this AI Task Force is a critical step in that direction. By aligning our efforts with the state’s broader AI initiatives, and partnering with our affiliate, The New Jersey State Library, we ensure that our community is not only equipped to adapt to the changes brought by AI, but also to lead in this new era of technological innovation. This task force will play a vital role in integrating AI into our educational and operational strategies, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of higher education,” Hancock said.
