Cardinal Intelligence
How the University of Louisville leads and learns with artificial intelligence
Cardinal Intelligence empowers the University of Louisville to lead and learn in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) with mission-driven human-centered guidance and responsibility. For generations, Cardinals have embraced technology, expanding how we learn, discover, connect and work. While AI raises important questions, our students, faculty, researchers and staff bring the curiosity and innovation needed to find answers. Through Cardinal Intelligence, we shape how UofL uses AI to advance our university and uncover solutions that strengthen the communities we serve.
