As AI tools become increasingly embedded in vendor offerings, the university is facing new challenges in evaluating, selecting and integrating these technologies. This panel brings together leaders from the information security, the library and procurement to explore how different units across U of T are responding to the influx of AI-enabled products. Panelists will discuss strategies for assessing vendor claims, aligning AI tools with institutional values and ensuring responsible product evaluation. Join us to gain insight into emerging practices and approaches for managing AI in procurement and adoption processes.
