| Summary: | <p dir="ltr"><b>This poster was presented at the AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC) First Annual Plenary Meeting organized by the Institute for Trustworthy AI in Law and Society (TRAILS) on December 2, 2024.</b></p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">As AI adoption accelerates globally, higher education faces both unprecedented opportunities and challenges. A recent Global AI Student Survey found that 86% of students routinely use AI in their studies, yet many struggle with poor AI literacy and a lack of institutional guidance<sup>1</sup>. Compounding this issue, students and faculty often unknowingly compromise data privacy by uploading sensitive materials to general-purpose AI tools.</p><p dir="ltr">The AI Mentor Pilot Program addresses these challenges by developing AI Mentors driven by instructor provided content and guidelines. This research study pairs the Pilot Program user feedback and tool usage data to evaluate the effectiveness of AI Mentors on student learning outcomes, to identify impacts on instructor workload, and to understand the ethical dimensions of instructor and student AI interactions, such as bias, trust, and misinformation.</p><p dir="ltr">[1] Digital Education Council (2024).
