Center for AI and the Liberal Arts

The University of Mary Washington's Center for AI and the Liberal Arts is uniquely positioned to address one of the most pressing educational challenges of our time: ensuring that artificial intelligence serves humanity's best interests. As a hub for interdisciplinary learning and research, the Center brings together students and faculty from computer science, humanities, social sciences, and the arts to explore not just how AI works, but how it shapes our society, culture, and values. In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, we need more than just engineers who can build AI systems—we need ethical leaders, critical thinkers, policymakers, and cultural innovators who can guide AI's development and implementation responsibly. 

This #GivingTuesday, your support will help #MakeItPossibleUMW to fulfill its mission to prepare students who don't just understand AI's technical capabilities, but who can thoughtfully examine its limitations, question its applications, and ensure it serves the common good. By supporting the Center for AI and the Liberal Arts, you're investing in a generation of graduates equipped to make positive changes in an increasingly AI-driven world—graduates who combine technical literacy with the critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and humanistic perspective that only a liberal arts education can provide.
