Generative AI is intersecting with higher education at FSU and changing the way we learn and work.
FSU ITS is drawing attention nationally for our work with artificial intelligence. To remain at the forefront of AI adoption, ITS continually assesses and releases new tools and features to the FSU community. Learn more about how AI is being used at Florida State and the tools currently available to our campus community.
What is Generative AI?
Generative AI refers to a class of artificial intelligence algorithms and models that are designed to generate new content similar to existing data it has been trained on. It is a bit like a creative friend who can come up with new ideas, even if they have never seen those exact ideas before!
How does it work?
Generative AI is like a smart computer program that learns from a bunch of examples. It figures out the patterns in the examples and then uses that knowledge to create new content that looks similar.
Microsoft Copilot for M365
Copilot for M365 is a new AI-powered productivity solution that helps you work smarter and faster with features like intelligent writing assistance, web page summarization, and content creation. FSU ITS is piloting the use of Copilot for M365 with various representatives across campus to determine the impact of generative AI use in daily work for higher education faculty and staff.
