Western Carolina University is embracing the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI to enhance education, research, and administrative processes. The IT Division collaborates with the university community to adopt these tools strategically and responsibly.
AI simulates human intelligence in machines, enabling them to perform tasks like learning, reasoning, and problem-solving. Generative AI, a subset of AI, focuses on creating new content—such as text, images, music, or code—based on existing data.
By integrating these technologies, we aim to empower our community, improve learning experiences, and streamline operations.
