From Policy to Practice: A Human-Centered Framework for Responsible AI Integration in Higher Education

Drawing from successful K-12 district implementation, this session presents an adaptable framework for integrating AI tools in higher education while maintaining academic integrity, protecting student data, and centering human decision-making. Participants will explore the SAFE framework (Security, Accountability, Fairness & Transparency, Efficacy), learn practical assessment strategies, and develop discipline-specific implementation plans. Whether you're just starting to explore AI or seeking to scale existing pilots, you'll leave with actionable steps for responsible AI adoption that enhances—not replaces—the faculty-student relationship.
