Raj Biyani to lead seminar on AI usage

Jan 08 2026

Goshen College is taking intentional steps to help employees navigate artificial intelligence with clarity and confidence, creating a new AI task force and pairing it with practical training designed to build understanding of AI systems across campus.

“Learning will be central to developing the right AI strategy,” President Rebecca Stoltzfus said.

One early step in that work just wrapped up: Raj Biyani ’92, Goshen College’s AI strategy adviser and co-chair of the college’s new AI task force, led a seminar for employees titled “The Minds, the Models, and the Magic.” The series explored what artificial intelligence is, how tools like ChatGPT have evolved and how major AI systems work, with time for discussion and reflection focused on real workplace and classroom questions.

The seminar was offered to the first 20 faculty and staff who signed up. Video recordings will be made available to employees shortly, so more people can learn from the sessions and build a common foundation for how AI is understood and used at GC.

The AI task force includes faculty and staff from a variety of departments, with Stoltzfus serving as chair and Biyani as co-chair. Together, the group is focused on helping Goshen College take a thoughtful, coordinated approach to AI that supports the work employees do every day.

Biyani is a technology executive, author and adviser who has studied artificial intelligence for years. He previously served as chief executive of Microsoft India from 2010 to 2016. He also delivered Goshen College’s 2015 commencement address and received the college’s Culture for Service award last year.
