UC ANR employees now have access to the ANRBot Arnie, an AI Chat tool to support our day-to-day work. The purpose of using AI is to strengthen how we work, allowing more focus on strategic and day-to-day operational work, including the critical thinking, experience and relationships that define our success.
It does not replace professional judgment, subject matter expertise or decision-making.
To support responsible use and to explore how it may support your work in appropriate ways, we have developed a required AI Guide that outlines expectations, examples and best practices.
For guidance on logging in and a general overview of how to use ANRBot, review the ANRBot PowerPoint.
