Why This Group Exists
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword—it’s transforming how we research, teach, and behave. At WVU, the AI Discussion Group offers a space for students, faculty, and staff to:
Learn from invited speakers and from each other.
Discuss how AI affects academic integrity, pedagogy, and research.
Collaborate on projects that help position WVU as a leader in AI-informed education.

We’re currently coordinating via a simple mailing list. To get involved:
Send an email to Prof. Aldo Romero at alromero at mail.wvu.edu, and you’ll be added to the group. This effort is supported by the research office and in particular to the High Performance Computing team.
