SUNY Sets Systemwide AI Policy

The policy requires training for faculty, staff, and students on AI tools and their implications. Each campus must develop its own detailed implementation guidelines by December 31, 2026.

The policy emphasizes 'responsible use' of AI in academic settings, including guidelines for data privacy, academic integrity, and equitable access. The systemwide framework provides standard principles, while campus-level guidelines will allow for flexibility based on local needs and student populations.

The policy's success will depend on implementation at the campus level and the effectiveness of training programs.
