Berkeley IT AI Service Strategy

The role of Berkeley IT in providing AI-related services is:

  • To enable access to broadly useful infrastructure, tools, guidance, and support; 

  • To identify the emergence of AI features in existing IT services and surface related decisions;

  • To safeguard the values and assets of Berkeley;

  • To adopt AI responsibly and ethically in support of IT service functions, learning by doing;

  • To partner with unit IT teams, administrative and academic leaders to discover, evaluate, and, if appropriate, implement new AI tools, products, and services.

  • To collaborate with peer institutions, sharing knowledge and innovating together, when Berkeley can both contribute and benefit.

We aim to:

  • Be responsive - agile and able to react to emergent community needs and unfolding innovations - as necessary to support the campus mission. 

  • Be proactive - forward-looking and intentional - with regard to the evolution of current services and emergence of predominant new capabilities.
