ibl.ai and Morehouse College: 2025 AI Initiative

As featured on iblnews.org, this Spring 2025 semester, ibl.ai and Morehouse College have launched a new pilot initiative: The Artificial Intelligence – Pedagogical Innovative Leaders of Technology Fellows Program!

This project heavily utilizes two of ibl.ai's most innovative generative AI offerings: AI Mentors and AI Avatars. This innovative pilot will allow faculty to integrate ibl.ai’s fully customizable AI Mentors and Avatars into Computer Science, Philosophy and Religion, Education, Business, and Morehouse online courses.

With the help of our generative AI solutions integrated into the Canvas LMS, faculty fellows will work together to develop AI-enhanced course modules using novel AI pedagogical tools with their own AI Avatars and AI Mentors.

Morehouse College is leading the way in establishing how to use AI tools in Liberal Arts education while remaining human centered. A huge thank you to our incredible partners at Morehouse College. We’re honored to help shape the future of HBCU liberal arts education.
