AI Policy Examples

Posted by Aankit Patel (he/him/his) on May 12, 2025 at 12:31 pm

Don’t AI Alone on May 9th highlighted for me how important clarity around AI policies to all CUNY stakeholders – faculty, staff, and students. Obviously this is a complex issue and requires broad stakeholder engagement. I’m wondering if this group might be interested in collectively working on this problem and I think a good place to start would be to share examples of policies in higher ed and beyond currently in place.

Here is a starting point outside of higher ed to get the conversation going: a research group at Cornell analyzed the policies of over 300k public subreddits for AI rules and published findings here and the full dataset here.

  Relevant discussion today on Neil Selwyn’s podcast today, where he interviewed Danish scholar Magda Pischetola on her research into policy responses across universities in Denmark.
  
  This is a paper she published last year on the topic:
  Driessens, O. & Pischetola, M. (2024). Danish university policies on generative AI: Problems, assumptions and sustainability blind spots. MedieKultur: 40(76):31-52.

  @aankit & @lwaltzer – thank you for sharing these fascinating resources.
  
  I think the term “AI policy” is complex and even brings up some tension – who is designing the policy? is it coming from the administration? how, indeed, are all stakeholders including faculty involved?
  
  It would be great to keep the “Don’t AI Alone” conversation going and study examples.
  
  Here are two resources compiled by Lance Eaton. These are limited lists, and mostly driven by those who want to participate and share their policies, but they show a variety of approaches as is.
  
  I participated in the second one and see other CUNY participants. Shout out to Jasmine Edwards, Shaoshao Yang, @jelizabethclark (LaGuardia) and @professork (Queensborough)!

    Thanks for these, Casandra! I’m encouraging the folks working on CITE’s AI toolkit to include these examples somewhere. Much appreciated.
