Utah Valley University’s Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute (AI Institute) is a living laboratory for AI in higher education. We are paving the way for the integration of AI into education, workforce development, and community impact.
UVU is leading the way as a living laboratory for the application of artificial intelligence in higher education.
UVU’s Applied AI Institute supports this work by advancing institutional capacity for AI integration through targeted faculty development & coordination, student academic support, and community impact & workforce readiness. Our initiatives include: support for faculty in providing students with essential AI literacy and research opportunities, developing discipline-specific curricula aligned with workforce needs, serving as a central resource for campus AI initiatives, and sharing the knowledge we develop across Utah’s higher education system.
