Supported by the IITG 2024–2025 grant, our multi-campus, interdisciplinary team developed and deployed AI-powered educational tools to enhance teaching and learning across the SUNY system. Key outcomes include EduAlly, an adaptive AI learning platform, and a robust Computer Vision/Natural Language Processing API toolkit, demonstrating measurable improvements in diverse disciplines such as engineering, computer science, education, and biology. Building on these successes, the next phase aims to refine and scale these tools for broader adoption. Objectives include enhancing the software platforms, developing AI-integrated curricula, advancing research in AI-driven learning, creating open educational resources (OER), and engaging with industry and local communities. By involving students in development and integrating ethical considerations, this initiative promotes sustainable, responsible AI use in education. The project aspires to position SUNY as a leader in AI-powered learning, equipping faculty with innovative tools and empowering students with personalized, adaptive educational experiences across disciplines and educational levels.
