WVU AI Discussion Group
Monthly Talks, Open Conversations, Collaborative Projects
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword—it’s transforming how we research, teach, and behave. The AI Discussion Group offers a space for students, faculty, and staff to:
- Learn from invited speakers and from each other.
- Discuss how AI affects academic integrity, pedagogy, and research.
- Collaborate on projects that help position WVU as a leader in AI-informed education.
We’re currently coordinating via a simple mailing list. To get involved:
Email Prof. Aldo Romero to be added to the group. This effort is supported by the High Performance Computing team of the WVU Research Office.
Prefer a calendar invite version? Just ask—we’ll send you a recurring Zoom invite.
