AI Services

FPG AI Services is a collaboration drawing on the expertise of the Instructional Design team and IT Services to provide web-based AI applications. We expect to leverage FPG's infrastructure in combination with campus’s offerings like the AI Acceleration Program to create cutting edge tools that will make grant applications more competitive. Potential functions include AI-powered personalized support tools that are grounded in curated knowledge bases, virtual conversations (such as coaching supports), and rapid prototyping for co-design and iterative development. This is a developing service, and through the combined efforts of multiple people at FPG and UNC ITS, we hope to navigate an ever-changing landscape of technology/service changes, security challenges, and privacy matters.
