Tools and Resources
Cornell provides the infrastructure that makes responsible AI use possible, offering secure compute and model access, vetted tools, and developing clear policies that support thoughtful, accountable experimentation across the university.
AI Innovation Hub
Become a Tech Lead: Tech Leads drive the technical direction of AI projects at the Innovation Hub, applying cutting-edge AI to real problems at Cornell. You’ll work closely with stakeholders, student developers, and Hub staff to architect solutions, guide implementation, and see projects through from concept to deployment. You can learn more about the Tech Lead experience here. If you are interested in joining as a Tech Lead, please contact us.
Submit an Idea: Have an idea for how AI could improve your research, teaching, or administrative work? We partner with Cornell staff and faculty to explore, prototype, and deploy AI-powered solutions. Submit your idea and a member of our team will follow up to discuss next steps.
Cornell Generative AI in Administration Task Force Report
The report evaluates potential risks to university operations associated with AI use, identifies mitigation strategies, reviews policies and recommends updates to support administrative applications of AI, and outlines opportunities to enhance service delivery and efficiency across administrative domains.

As both a subject of study and a tool for teaching and learning, AI demands new knowledge, skills, and critical thinking. Cornell is committed to expanding AI literacy and to supporting the thoughtful, responsible use — and intentional non‑use — of AI in education.
Center for Teaching Innovation
For Research
AI + Research
At Cornell, AI is both a subject of inquiry — ranging from algorithms and machine learning to ethics and human-AI interaction — and a tool that advances scientific breakthroughs.
Generative AI in Academic Research: Perspectives and Cultural Norms
The report provides guidance for thoughtful use of Generative AI in research, identifying opportunities as well as risks and duties in both the development and use of these tools in academic research that aspires to positive societal impact.
