The University of Cincinnati's Digital Technology Solutions has released its semiannual report highlighting progress across the university's digital transformation efforts and the many ways UC is supporting innovation, operational excellence, cybersecurity and modernization across campus.
The report highlights UC's continued advancement of artificial intelligence through the Bearcats AI Ready initiative, including expanded access to BearcatGPT, new AI-enabled tools and resources, and ongoing efforts to support responsible AI adoption across teaching, research and administrative operations.
