IAAAI Fellows are selected annually through a nomination process (which includes self-nominations) based on their recent accomplishments and current projects in AI-driven teaching, research, or curriculum development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a Fellow, you&nbsp;will meet with Institute leadership monthly, be invited to contribute to initiatives as they arise, and receive $1,000 for AI-related professional development to provide expert feedback and help shape NAU\u2019s long-term vision and engagement with artificial intelligence. This role is ideal for faculty and academic professionals who are already engaged with AI technologies and who want to take a hand in shaping and defining the university\u2019s strategic direction in the AI landscape.
