Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences
Graduate AI Innovation & Networking Series

GAINS is a Dietrich School initiative that explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping graduate education, teaching, and research. We spotlight innovative practices, projects, and essential resources to promote informed and responsible use of AI in the university setting. By sparking cross-disciplinary dialogue around one of the most compelling topics, GAINS creates a platform for discussion, discovery, and new connections within the Pitt community.
