Learning to use AI tools responsibly

- Tools & Training
Members of the University of Toronto community are experimenting with AI and its applications to support their work and productivity. To help guide the U of T community we will be collecting and sharing resources, and professional development opportunities, primarily related to GenAI tools which are being adopted for public use.
However, we also recognize that AI functionality is being added to existing tools and applications that we all use regularly to perform our tasks. As such, it is beyond the scope of this resource page to list all of these additional tools. Professional staff, in particular, are encouraged to connect with your divisional IT teams for conversations related to learning opportunities around AI functionality incorporated into productivity applications.
