The Amplify Staff Fellows (ASF) is a small cohort of university staff who gather every other week to explore more about generative AI and develop specific solutions utilizing AI to improve their daily work. It is designed for individuals with an intermediate (or above) understanding of Gen AI who are looking to create real world solutions. It is a collaborative space to learn, experiment, and build solutions together.聽聽
