To accelerate AI‑driven innovation at Wichita State University and across the region by helping organizations apply advanced AI safely, effectively, and in alignment with national best practices.

Vision:
To create a model AI innovation center that supports WSU and regional partners in integrating AI confidently and responsibly, fueling long‑term economic and technological growth through applied research, solution development, and effective guidance.

AI-SECC Projects and Activities

WuChat

  • WSU is actively developing processes, procedures, infrastructure, and expertise to enable generative AI to be used in a variety of use cases by faculty, staff, students, and researchers.
  • WuChat is an effort to develop and evaluate generative AI tools/agents built as a phased approach with each step building capability in collaboration with stakeholders across campus.
  • Different versions are being built for different use cases, intended users, and varying features and capabilities.

NIST AI Consortium membership

  • WSU is collaborating with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the NIST Artificial Intelligence Consortium to establish a new measurement science that will enable the identification of proven, scalable, and interoperable measurements and methodologies to promote innovative and secure development and use of AI. NIST does not evaluate commercial products under this Consortium and does not endorse any product or service used.
  • AI-SECC represents WSU as an official member of the NIST AI Consortium
