A lab focused on teaching, creativity, criticality, and societal impact with AI. Reimagining what world-class undergraduate education looks like in the age of Generative AI.
The invention of photography transformed art, culture, science, and society in ways no one could have imagined. 185 years later with Generative AI, we are at a similar inflection point—one that requires not just revision, but completely new thinking.
The AXL will cultivate, support, and disseminate the faculty, staff, and student innovations needed to achieve HMC's promise of world-class undergraduate education in the age of GenAI.
GenAI tools provide both challenges and opportunities in education. HMC is well-situated to lead discussions of what we teach, why we teach it, and how we teach and assess it.
Bringing together participants across constituencies—faculty, students, staff—and across campuses to support novel work related to teaching about, with, and in the presence of GenAI.
Providing access to cutting-edge GenAI tools and supporting collaborative experimentation to keep HMC current in a rapidly changing space and lead by example.
Positioning HMC as a leader in envisioning a future with GenAI that carefully considers societal and environmental impacts, raising our profile nationally and internationally.
Advancing GenAI education, research, and critical discourse across disciplines.
Interdisciplinary modules examining ethical, cultural, environmental, and societal implications of GenAI.
Training and grants to support groundbreaking approaches to teaching with and about GenAI.
Communities of practice welcoming faculty, staff, and students from the 7Cs and beyond.
Invited speakers and book clubs held online to attract national and international audiences.
A comprehensive repository of AI-aware teaching materials for all disciplines.
Support for prototypes, artworks, and physical objects engaging AI tools and critical inquiry.
A 2-day conference paired with pre-conference grants and communities of practice for faculty. This event will serve as proof of concept for how the AXL would benefit the HMC community.
