Florida A.I. Learning Consortium
FALCON’s vision is to empower and transform higher education through the integration of AI, fostering a future where technology enhances learning, teaching, and research in a manner that is ethical, equitable, and forward-thinking.
FALCON was founded in 2024 to connect higher-education faculty and staff interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence and higher education. It has no membership fees and anyone can join.
Our consortium is led by a steering committee and structured around Special Interest Groups (SIGs), which focus on several critical areas. These SIGs provide a platform for members to engage with specific AI-related topics and contribute to the advancement of our collective knowledge and practices.
