Generative AI

Marshall University is embarking on a bold new chapter in innovation with the introduction of advanced artificial intelligence technologies across campus. This initiative brings a suite of modern AI tools and capabilities to students, faculty, and staff, expanding access to resources that enhance teaching, deepen research opportunities, and streamline everyday academic and administrative tasks.

These emerging technologies are part of a broader effort to build an environment where intelligent solutions can strengthen the Marshall experience. By integrating AI thoughtfully and responsibly, we aim to support academic excellence, accelerate discovery, and encourage creative problem‑solving across all fields of study.

This moment marks an exciting step toward a future where AI serves as a catalyst for new ideas, collaboration, and transformative learning experiences. We invite the Marshall community to explore these tools, engage with new possibilities, and help shape a campus where innovation thrives and every member is empowered to achieve more.
