AI Faculty Senate Committee
Empowering Adelphi University faculty and students in the ethical and responsible utilization of AI in higher education.
The multidisciplinary Artificial Intelligence (AI) Task Force was established by the Office of the Provost to identify opportunities for AI to be used in teaching and research, develop a strategic plan for AI at Adelphi University, raise awareness of AI among faculty members and students, and ensure that AI is used ethically and responsibly. The task force, chaired by Associate Professor A. Hasan Sapci, MD, comprised several faculty members and staff who are responsible for overseeing, planning, implementing, and managing academic programs, research, student services, and administrative processes.
The task force has transitioned into a permanent Faculty Senate AI Committee, reflecting the recognition that artificial intelligence is not a temporary trend, but a transformative and enduring presence in higher education. Given AI’s growing influence on teaching, learning, research, and university operations, and its interest and importance across the university, the establishment of a standing committee provides a sustained forum for faculty engagement, interdisciplinary collaboration, and thoughtful consideration of AI’s opportunities and challenges. The current chair of the committee is Professor Lee Stemkoski, PhD.
