The AI Taskforce is a one-year task force created by Clark’s President, David Fithian. The Task Force includes membership from the Provost’s Office, Information Technology Services, the Goddard Library, faculty, and staff, with a full listing of membership below.
Convened in January 2026, our one-year mission is to evaluate Clark’s current use of AI, identify and address AI-specific policy needs, and create a central resource guide to help all members of the Clark community consider their use of AI.
We will transition the Task Force to a more permanent AI Steering Committee in early 2027.
