George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
The AI Centre of Excellence is George Brown Polytechnic’s central hub for AI guidance, tools, training, communications, and institutional resources. It supports a responsible, secure, and human-first approach to AI adoption by connecting employees, faculty, students, leaders, and teams with trusted information and practical support in one place.
The AI Centre of Excellence strengthens institutional AI capacity, capability, and adoption across the polytechnic. As AI reshapes how people learn, teach, work, create, and solve problems, George Brown is taking an intentional approach that keeps people, purpose, ethics, accessibility, and accountability at the centre of this work.
Through clear guidance, practical resources, learning opportunities, and co-ordinated communication, the AI Centre of Excellence supports the George Brown community in building confidence, making informed decisions, and moving from exploration to responsible implementation. It is designed to advance thoughtful experimentation, strengthen institutional readiness, and ensure AI is used in ways that enhance learning, work, and service.
The AI Centre of Excellence supports George Brown in thinking boldly, questioning deeply, and acting purposefully as AI becomes part of teaching, learning, operations, and institutional transformation.
We believe that AI is more than a tool, it’s a catalyst for reimagining the future of education. By embracing AI across our institution, we are driving forward new possibilities while balancing our responsibility to address the ethical and societal impacts of this transformative technology.

The future of AI in education is not only about technology. It is about people, collaboration, and the shared responsibility to build institutional capacity in thoughtful and practical ways. The AI Centre of Excellence gives George Brown a coordinated space to share knowledge, build institutional confidence, support responsible adoption, and help our community think boldly, question deeply, and act purposefully.
