How can AI benefit campus recreation programs? Stephanie Smith, the director of Recreation at MIT, encourages professionals “to adopt a growth mindset when it comes to AI,” reported Campus Rec magazine, touting multiple promising applications as well as the need for ethical data management that aligns with institutional policies.
Some campus recreation initiatives involving AI, according to Smith, include:
- Personalized fitness tools that tailor workouts to students’ preferences, schedules or wearable data
