AI Deep Dive: Building Your AI Center of Excellence or Practice

The AFIT AI Deep-Dive Workshop Series is the applied, tactical complement to the monthly AI Community of Practice. Where the CoP focuses on strategic conversation — how AI reshapes institutional thinking, governance, and culture — the Deep Dive sessions focus on implementation: specific tools, practical workflows, and campus-ready techniques that participants can put to work. Each month's session description includes a Tools section listing any software or platforms that will be used during the session. Participants who want a hands-on experience can install or access these tools in advance and follow along in real time. However, hands-on participation is entirely optional — every session is designed so that those who prefer to watch, listen, and ask questions will get full value from the discussion and live demonstrations.

As AI activity increases across campus, institutions need an operating model to coordinate and support it. This session compares approaches—small central teams, distributed networks, and hybrid models—and helps participants define roles, responsibilities, and knowledge-sharing structures. Participants will identify first steps toward formalizing or strengthening an AI hub on their campus.

This session is discussion-driven — no software installation required.
