The FIT project Instructional Technology for Human-Centered AI: A Multidisciplinary Collaboration aims to foster AI literacy and provide a foundation for critical engagement with AI-driven tools and their broader implications. Along with partners at Old Westbury, Buffalo, and Monroe CC, the collaborative team will develop case studies on AI-assisted collections management initiatives for arts and cultural organizations. The proposed year-long collaboration brings scholars of Responsible and Inclusive Technologies Research, alongside historians, philosophers, and anthropologists who have studied the cultural and historical dimension of art and technology. Faculty involved in the project will document semester-long discussions with students and student-led research on AI’s societal impact, using an AI system developed by the project team. These conversations will be shared with broader educational communities to contribute to a new field of research and civic discourse on AI each campus to expand educational pathways and interdisciplinary engagement of arts and technology. Through a collaborative network of faculty, researchers, creative practitioners, and academic support professionals, it seeks to create inclusive, experiential learning opportunities. By sharing resources and co-creating programs across campuses, the project will empower non-STEM students to engage emerging technologies critically and creatively, developing ethically grounded, socially responsible mindsets.
