Timely, meaningful feedback is one of the most powerful tools educators have, but high workloads and manual processes often get in the way. At UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, a new AI-powered assistant is closing the gap.

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how UCLA implemented a generative AI solution that helps faculty and teaching assistants deliver faster, high-quality academic feedback — without losing the human touch.

You’ll learn:

  • How UCLA’s human-in-the-loop model ensures AI feedback stays personalized, relevant and pedagogically sound
  • What reusable architecture and implementation lessons can guide your own institution’s approach to generative AI
  • What faculty and teaching assistants are saying about the real-world impact of this solution in the classroom
