At Harvard we are exploring how GAI tools can open up new ways of teaching and learning, and how natural-language interactions with computational tools can provide improved access to quantitative methods for fields that have not traditionally been computer-intensive. As a rapidly moving disruptive technology, GAI poses significant opportunities and challenges that span the economic, regulatory, ethical, environmental, and societal domains and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) is committed to advancing those conversations across the full breadth of our community.

###  Trainings and Events 

 



Workshop Series

### Weekly AI Workshops for Staff 

 

Workshops are offered Wednesdays from 11 a.m.–noon, and topics vary by week.

Unless otherwise noted, demonstrations will focus on Google Gemini, but most best practices and guidance will apply to other tools as well. If you want to follow along, make sure you have access to your [Harvard-managed Google account](https://www.huit.harvard.edu/google-workspace) (or the specific tool(s) applicable to the session) before logging in.

### GAI Consultations 

 

**For Teaching**

Teams from both the Bok Center and HUIT ATG are available for one-on-one consultations. Email <bokcenter@fas.harvard.edu> with questions about **assignment design, pedagogical strategies,** or **general AI integration advice.** Email <ithelp@harvard.edu> for **tool access and technical guidance.**

**For Administrative Work**

Thursdays, 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. | Virtual

These are informal drop-in sessions where staff can bring specific questions or examples from their work and see how Harvard-supported generative AI tools might help. Staff are welcome to join with a question, a particular task or document, or simply to observe a few live, FAS-based examples.

###  Policies 

Harvard University supports responsible experimentation with generative AI tools, but there are important considerations to keep in mind when using these tools, including information security and data privacy, compliance, copyright, and academic integrity. These guidelines are updated periodically.
