Generative AI Hub

The Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) supports the ethical and responsible use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) to accelerate disciplinary and interdisciplinary research. We enable new research through research incubation events, help researchers build Generative AI skills through tutorials, and provide resources for U-M researchers. We also develop research collaboration with peer institutions, and coalition with industry and public sector organizations to promote the ethical and responsible use of Generative AI in organizational operations and decision making.
