AI Ambassadors | AI Competency Centre

AI Ambassadors

The AI Ambassadors are active AI users from across the collegiate University who are happy to be points of contact for colleagues in their local context. Ambassadors can signpost you to best practice guidance, offer advice on how to integrate AI into your work, or even help to mentor you in applying AI tools. Find an AI Ambassador in your local department below.

If you would like to be an AI Ambassador for your department, please review the responsibilities and find out how to sign up at the end of the page.
