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.
