Hosted by CSU Libraries, AI Dialogues is a hybrid series (online & in person) of conversations designed to foster interdisciplinary conversations about the role of artificial intelligence across academic fields.
Each session will feature a 20-minute talk by a faculty member from a different discipline, highlighting how AI intersects with their research, teaching, or creative activity.

The Possibilities of Classroom AI Policies: Integrating Learning, Integrity, and Technology
Thursday, October 2, 2025
4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Led by Leslie Davis (Department of English)
As generative AI becomes more commonplace in higher education, we face the challenge of considering how detailed – or how limiting – classroom AI policies can be.
In this talk, we will consider policy recommendations from various professional organizations, as well as consider how students can be successful in the classroom while attending to the various ethical and disciplinary concerns that come with AI use. Participants will leave with a better sense of how an AI policy can work to help students meet course objectives while gaining the ability to critically and ethically use generative AI.
A Dialogue on Generative AI and Writing Across the Curriculum
Thursday, October 23, 2025
4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Led by Kelly Bradbury (Director of gtPathways Writing Integration), Genesea Carter (Associate Director of Composition), and Aly Welker (English Department Online Coordinator and Assistant Director of Upper-Divison Composition)
Dialogue facilitators will share and reflect on the wide range of input they have received from CSU undergraduates across multiple composition courses in the last year.
This input comes through formal surveys, informal conversations, structured class discussions, word analytics data, and online exchanges that invite students to articulate their views about Generative AI and its impact on the writing process. In addition to discussing patterns and themes in student responses, facilitators will consider how student insights can inform the ways we design assignments, guide classroom conversations, and foster critical AI literacy.
This dialogue seeks to emphasize the importance of treating student perspectives not only as feedback, but also as valuable contributions to writing assignment design and assessment across the curriculum.
