The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) recently hosted the state’s first “Prompt-a-Thon,” in collaboration with Microsoft, to explore the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education and research. The event brought together researchers, faculty, and educators from across Texas to learn and apply AI skills in a collaborative setting. Microsoft experts showcased real-world applications of AI tools in learning and research, emphasizing the importance of AI literacy and innovation.
UTA is leading the way in AI education by offering a certified AI “train the trainer” program to equip faculty and staff with AI knowledge. The university’s “Tiger Teams” are prepared to help others embrace AI for improved efficiency. UTA’s AI ambitions extend to healthcare and scientific research, with breakthroughs in machine learning that could significantly impact cancer survival rates and Alzheimer’s disease progression.
The event featured hands-on breakout sessions where participants worked together to develop AI prompts using Microsoft Co-Pilot AI. The scenario-based learning approach aimed to spark collaborative problem-solving using AI tools. UTA faculty implementing principles learned from the Prompt-a-Thon are shaping the future workforce by preparing students for an AI-powered business world.
Overall, the event highlighted the importance of AI literacy and the role of academia and industry in driving innovation and research. By empowering its people with cutting-edge AI tools, UTA aims to position Texas and the nation as leaders in AI technology, with a focus on ethical and responsible use.
