UC creates recommendations for responsible use of artificial intelligence

The University of California has created recommendations to create a path toward the responsible use of artificial intelligence in future UC endeavors. UC's increasing dependence on the use of AI has increased its overall productivity as an institution, according to the UC Office of the President, or UCOP. However, with the implementation of AI, there is also potential for problems to arise. To combat this, former UC President Janet Napolitano and current president Michael Drake created the Presidential Working Group on Artificial Intelligence, or the Working Group, in August 2020. The Working Group's final report noted that the group consists of 32 faculty and staff from all 10 UC campuses and an additional number of representatives from UC Legal and the Office of Ethics, Compliance and Audit Services, among other groups.
