How will AI change teaching, learning, and work?

Led by more than 100 faculty, staff, & students

To advance its bold vision for AI, Indiana University is taking a focused, institution-wide approach to how these technologies shape teaching, learning, research, and university operations. Building on work already underway across its campuses, IU is engaging faculty and staff across academic and administrative areas to shape how AI supports the university community and advances its academic mission.  

As part of this effort, IU is undertaking a structured, university-wide planning process to ensure AI adoption is responsible, coordinated, and aligned with academic values.

This work is supported by a $300,000 planning grant from Lilly Endowment Inc.’s Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education initiative and brings faculty and staff together from across the state to develop a shared, institution-wide roadmap for responsibly integrating AI into curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, student services, workforce alignment, and organizational culture. Related to this effort, IU is also exploring potential collaborative opportunities with other Indiana colleges and universities.

What we're trying to accomplish

The primary goals of the effort are:

1. Incorporate AI literacy and AI-resilient skills as foundational elements of curriculum.
2. Reinvent pedagogy across majors with AI-responsive learning and assessment approaches.
3. Embed AI into experiential learning to develop AI-applied skills for all students.
4. Transform student services into AI-enhanced, student-centered ecosystems.

This work will be grounded in IU's emerging Human + AI Learning Model, which strengthens distinctly human skills, including critical thinking, ethical reasoning, empathy, and communication, alongside foundational AI literacy.
