Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to create systems or machines that are capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as problem-solving, learning, reasoning, perception, language understanding, and decision-making.

Generative Artificial Intelligence is a subset of AI that focuses on creating systems capable of generating new content, data, or information that resembles human-generated content. These systems employ various algorithms and models to produce text, images, audio, and other forms of data.

Seneca's Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Policy serves as a framework for the responsible and safe use of GenAI.

Seneca Libraries has developed a guide that explores the challenges and opportunities of generative AI.

On Tuesday, August 29, 2023, President David Agnew and Dr. Elka Walsh, Associate Vice President, Learning and Teaching at Microsoft Canada, discussed AI and how it is affecting postsecondary education: .

To learn more about artificial intelligence, Dr. Walsh shared the following resources:

• AI Business School Artificial Intelligence Courses - Microsoft AI
• Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Fundamentals - Certifications | Microsoft Learn
• Artificial intelligence and education at Sydney – Teaching@Sydney from the University of Sydney
• What to do about assessments if we can’t out-design or out-run AI? – Teaching@Sydney from the University of Sydney. This webpage includes a link to their “Responding to Generative AI for Assessments” guide.
