The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Enablement Team is being recognized with the Presidential Team Irish Award for its profound impact on Notre Dame’s academic and operational landscapes. Formed through a collaboration between the Office of Information Technology and Hesburgh Libraries, the team was tasked with a critical and emerging need: empowering our community to responsibly use artificial intelligence. Rising to the challenge, the team members have delivered key AI tools while serving as trusted advisers and educators. Through their efforts, the Notre Dame community has secure access to generative AI capabilities, as well as clear best practices for ethical use and data protection.
Their work has built a foundational campus AI platform and established an AI Innovation Council, initiatives that will support responsible AI adoption for years to come. These efforts solidify Notre Dame’s position as a leader in both research and ethical technology use.
Thank you to the team members for their exceptional commitment to excellence, innovation, and service. Their leadership, both on campus and across higher education, truly embodies the spirit of the Presidential Team Irish Award.
