In September 2023, UCSF launched GenAI Office Hours, led by Academic Research Services and the UCSF Versa Tiger Team. This bi-weekly series fosters community, knowledge sharing, and explores AI applications within UCSF’s diverse workflows. Presenters from the community generously share their experiences and use cases with GenAI tools. Participants span a broad spectrum of roles, including professors, leadership, IT support staff, researchers, educators, and clinical practitioners.

ChatGSPP is an AI-powered chatbot developed by the Goldman School of Public Policy that intelligently navigates information about our faculty, staff, programs, and research initiatives. This interactive demo will showcase how we've implemented a conversational interface that analyzes user queries, retrieves appropriate content from our existing web resources, and delivers responses with proper source attribution.

RSS has developed an innovative AI-driven, no-code, cloud-based platform to revolutionize digital transformation, addressing compliance requirements like accessibility and cyber security. The platform combines no-code development, AI automation, predictive analytics, and natural language data querying. It enables rapid development of web and native mobile solutions.

Our team needed to integrate diverse data streams to dynamically identify patients at risk and proactively distribute tailored resources to empower them to protect their respiratory health. Our team needed to identify when high risk patients with respiratory conditions were experiencing poor air quality caused by wildfire smoke. We worked collaboratively with clinical subject matter experts (SME) to define the appropriate target patient population and air quality thresholds.

Achieving Zero Harm by preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is a priority for UC Health. The Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) is the primary measure used by NHSN to risk-adjust HAIs, but access to protected health information (PHI) is restricted, limiting broad data accessibility. Additionally, no dynamic SIR data source existed in the Scuba Data Warehouse for enterprise reporting. To address this, we developed an automated tool, eliminating manual NHSN exports and processing.

Let's face it, getting tech updates to college students can feel like a superhero mission! This poster aims to present actionable strategies for effectively communicating technology and service changes to college students. It acknowledges the difficulties in reaching a tech-savvy but diverse student body and emphasizes the importance of clear, concise, and relevant messaging. The poster will also recommend using informal, fun language, with an example of a superhero theme, to engage students in short but meaningful interactions and capture their attention, making ITS seem less mysterious.

Tired of the time-consuming process of crafting user stories? In this session, we'll explore how AI can revolutionize your user story development. We'll delve into real-world examples, like the "eFile Plus" project, where AI was successfully used to generate user stories, resulting in increased efficiency and improved project outcomes.

This poster will highlight the impact of the APeX Enabled Research (AER) team on implementing clinical and technical innovations at UCSF. The poster will explain the primary goals of the team, volume of project work, and breadth of technologies used to support research innovation. Ideally UC Tech attendees will learn more about what is technically possible today to support research, get inspiration for projects at their organization, get connected with others doing similar work, and lead to future collaboration and innovation across UC campuses.

When Turnitin’s AI Writing Detection Tool launched in Spring 2023, staff from UC Berkeley’s Research, Teaching, and Learning (RTL) department recognized the need for careful exploration of the tool to understand instructor concerns around academic integrity, accuracy, equity, privacy, student access, and actionability. In collaboration with the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Center for Student Conduct, RTL invited instructors to participate in an opt-in pilot from Fall 2023 – Spring 2025.

This session will showcase how our department identifies, explores, and evaluates emerging technologies that support effective teaching and learning. Our department regularly pilots academic technology tools hosted by third-party vendors, so we developed a comprehensive guide to streamline and navigate through the piloting process. Join us as we walk through the guide, covering key aspects such as establishing scope, developing timelines and milestones, identifying risks and mitigations, creating a communications plan, conducting assessments, and defining success metrics.
