About the YAA-Redpath Talk and Speaker
AI at Yale: Innovation to Impact
Yale has long been at the forefront of fundamental discoveries, innovation, and education that have improved the world and prepared generations of leaders and thinkers. As artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged in recent years as an expansive technology poised to transform our society, it has enabled new opportunities while raising questions about our humanity. Today, Yale’s leadership is more important than ever, not only to explore, advance, and harness AI as it evolves, but also to provide ethical, legal, and social frameworks to address the challenges it poses. We want to ensure that our graduates are equipped with a strong intellectual compass to make consequential decisions and shape the future of humanity in a world with AI.
Yale is making bold investments to support faculty, students, and staff as they engage with artificial intelligence through the AI at Yale Initiative. This investment will help the Yale community develop, use, and evaluate AI and apply it to deliver breakthrough research and innovation. Yale’s commitment benefits all school- and unit-specific AI strategies, including curricular, research, and recruitment goals, increased computing infrastructure, access to secure generative AI tools, seed grants, and opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and convening.
Jennifer Frederick has served as Yale University’s associate provost for academic initiatives since 2022. She is an expert in interdisciplinary and inclusive teaching practices in higher education and a widely respected university leader. She provides leadership for Yale on teaching and learning matters and shapes the strategic priorities of the Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning in alignment with the university’s vision and mission.
As founding executive director of the Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning in 2014, she has been instrumental in the Center’s creation and support of all aspects of student learning and faculty pedagogy. Her leadership of the Poorvu Center has also included building the Faculty Teaching Initiatives team, the Academic Strategies Program, and Educational Program Assessment service, and expanding to space in Poorvu North. Frederick oversees offices including an innovation center, the registrar’s office, and university financial aid. In 2024, Frederick participated in the Yale Taskforce on Artificial Intelligence to develop the institution’s AI priorities and make recommendations for investments to improve educational policy and provide curricular guidance. Building on that work, she now leads the university-wide effort to implement the Task Force’s recommendations.
Beyond Yale, Dr. Frederick served for many years as the principal investigator on an award from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to support a national STEM faculty development initiative, the Summer Institutes on Scientific Teaching. She designs and leads mentorship training for Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists and other organizations.
Dr. Frederick holds a BA in Chemistry from Cornell University and a PhD in chemistry from Yale. She held teaching and research-focused faculty positions at the University of Bridgeport and Western Connecticut State University before returning to Yale in 2007 to focus on educational development.
