Building an AI-Ready Institution: Policy Frameworks, Ethical Governance, and Strategic Action Planning

Abstract

Universities are going through an AI ready transition. Evolving legacy educational system to a self-developing optimized system is a crucial to stand globally competitive. This paper proposes ‘Flexible, Logical, Decentralized and Human-guided’ framework to accommodate Artificial Intelligence with utmost emphasis on ethics management, governance, policy and equitability. At a heart of this plan lies an internally-household, self-developing Large Language Model (LLM) integrated within sandbox structure to negate risks related to data privacy and model hallucination. Students are empowered with adaptive, self-paced learning environments, while an academic staff can be benefit from capacity-building modules. The system automates assessment processes to offer timely constructive feedback without any bias. It balances the utilization of automated systems with effective human-guided governance making it an adaptable, secure framework for digital transformations at universities.
