Artificial Intelligence for Academia

Adolfo Ibáñez University is leading the integration of artificial intelligence into academia through faculty development, intellectual production, and academic management, with a focus on quality, ethics, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
To this end, it has developed the ConectIA program: Skills for the Academia of the Future, which —together with the National Center for Artificial Intelligence (CENIA)— reflects UAI’s commitment to a critical and strategic academic transformation. Additionally, it has made available to its community institutional policies, ethical use guidelines, and principles that guide the integration of AI at UAI.
