Artificial intelligence is not just a technological advancement — it promises to be a transformative force that will shape the future of our world. DFA's AI² initiative focuses on using this emerging technology to amplify the impact of the work and services we deliver.

By making AI one of our divisional goals, we are committing to remain at the forefront of this technological revolution. Through the responsible adoption of AI across the division, we aim to improve efficiency, strengthen services, and support innovation.

Governance

DFA's governance framework provides a consistent, risk-based approach to exploring, developing, and using AI. It establishes the policies, roles, and review processes needed to manage risk, protect university interests, and ensure AI solutions align with UC policy and organizational priorities.

This framework supports responsible innovation by providing clarity, accountability, and appropriate oversight while enabling employees to identify and apply AI opportunities that improve operations and service delivery.
