The Future Project aims to shape the use of AI in teaching, learning, and work at UM. We are conducting a survey to assess AI usage and sentiments among UM students, faculty, and staff. The insights gathered from this survey will directly influence the development of AI-related guidelines and practices at UM, ensuring they meet the needs and expectations of our community.
