AI at AUT
At AUT, our relationship with AI is built on the belief that technology should amplify what makes us human. AUT’s AI strategy thoughtfully weaves AI throughout our teaching, research and community partnerships while keeping human values, creativity and connection as our foundation.
We're creating a future where technology empowers people, and where every member of our university community is equipped to thrive in an AI-enhanced world.
AUT’s AI approach
At AUT, we believe AI should serve people, not the other way around. That's why we've built our AI strategy on clear principles that put ethics, equity and human connection at the centre of everything we do.
AI research
Our vision is to embrace AI as a catalyst for groundbreaking research, and researchers across AUT are already exploring the opportunities AI offers to build a smarter, healthier and more connected world.
AI in learning and teaching
To ensure that all AUT graduates are confident in an AI-integrated workforce, we’re transforming assessment design, integrating AI across all disciplines and providing guidance on using AI.
