The Marist AI Steering Committee reflects our commitment to "look ahead, continuing our tradition of innovating, adapting, and evolving to serve the ever-changing needs of a complex world" as outlined in Marist 100. As an institution grounded in the liberal arts, we are uniquely positioned to evaluate AI's implications through ethical and humanistic lenses, ensuring its development and implementation align with our mission to foster productive, ethical, and enlightened lives in the 21st century.
 
Our approach emphasizes coordination and empowerment rather than centralized control. The committee will support the goals outlined in Marist 100 - enhancing academic vibrancy, centering student success, and fostering an expansive community - through targeted programming, ethical guidelines, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
