AI Task Force recommendations guide Marquette's next steps on artificial intelligence

Oct 20,26 | 01:47 EST

Marquette is advancing a series of recommendations developed by its university-wide AI Task Force, marking the next phase of the institution’s mission-centered approach to artificial intelligence. Convened during the 2025-26 academic year, the AI Task Force brought together more than 60 faculty and staff members from across the university to examine how artificial intelligence is affecting teaching and learning, clinical education, research, administrative operations, and wellness and student success. The group’s work included reviewing emerging trends, studying practices at peer institutions, gathering campus feedback, and developing recommendations rooted in Marquette’s Catholic, Jesuit mission. A campuswide survey that generated approximately 650 responses also informed the process. The task force’s recommendations were presented to the Executive Leadership Team and are helping shape the university’s ongoing work to support responsible, mission-aligned use of AI.

This crucial development aims to improve the early detection of precancerous growths, thereby enabling timely intervention and preventing the progression to full-blown cancer, underscoring the hospital's commitment to cutting-edge patient care and disease prevention.

Virtual summit addresses artificial intelligence and racial bias in health care

Oct 20,26 | 01:32 EST

Dr. Ijeoma Nnodim Opara of Wayne State University's "Held to the Light" summit discusses the presence of racial bias in healthcare. The Collaborative to End Race-Based Medicine-Detroit and Wayne State University’s Office of Inclusive Excellence are hosting a virtual summit this month to discuss the role of bias in health care and public health in the age of artificial intelligence. Dr. Ijeoma Nnodim Opara, an associate professor at Wayne State University School of Medicine and co-chair of the collaborative, highlights that AI has the potential to amplify existing biases in clinical algorithms and decision-making, leading to adverse health outcomes. The collaborative aims to stop race-based medicine in teaching, research, and practice, advocating for new education policies and research that incorporate community voices to mitigate these risks. This initiative was formed in response to the disproportionate COVID-19 deaths in African American and Black communities, which were linked to misinformation and disinformation. The "Held to the Light: Race, Code & Consequence in the Age of AI" event is scheduled for Oct. 29.
