At MSU, the integration of generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) across teaching, research, and administrative domains is guided by a steadfast commitment to ethics, equity, and human-centered values. As the pace of generative AI development accelerates, MSU recognizes both its transformative potential and the pressing need for responsible innovation. By embedding ethical principles—such as fairness, inclusivity, and human dignity—at the foundation of our AI initiatives, we foster a culture of critical inquiry and adaptability. This ensures that the deployment of generative AI enhances learning, discovery, and institutional effectiveness while remaining aligned with our academic mission and social responsibility.

"Michigan State University is committed to activating talent on our campus and beyond by delivering an exceptional student experience, advancing cutting-edge research, and serving our communities through the knowledge cultivated in our classrooms and laboratories. Generative artificial intelligence will play an increasingly prominent role across the many communities with which we engage. Our exploration of generative AI must be guided by ethics and grounded in our core values, ensuring it enhances our mission and strengthens the Spartan impact."
