San Diego State University (SDSU) is using AI to support its campus community and the broader California State University system. As an early adopter of Google products, SDSU has woven AI tools like Gemini for Education and NotebookLM into the classroom, lowering the barrier to entry for students, faculty and staff alike.
The university is already seeing significant results. In the first phase of an ongoing study, students reported that AI helps them study more efficiently, giving them more time for learning new topics and pursuing other interests. Faculty have embraced AI as a powerful teaching assistant that can instantly support students in large classes, saving hours on tasks like giving faster feedback or formatting documents.
Most importantly, SDSU is focused on using AI responsibly. The university has created guidelines and mini-courses to educate students, faculty and staff on campus and throughout the system on how to use these tools effectively and ethically. By ensuring AI is available to all, SDSU serves as a great example of how to build a more equitable and innovative future for higher education. Watch the video below to learn more.
