I’m joined by two people from the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO), Alexandra McFarlane, who’s one of the Directors, and Ryan Tishchoff who works as a Researcher. 

They’re here to talk about some of the research their group has been spearheading around Generative AI and how they hope to support further research in this area by creating a Consortium on Generative AI that’s made up of different stakeholders from post-secondary institutions in Ontario.  You can find out more about HEQCO's request for proposals here - applications are due September 20.
