Ferris State will enroll 2 AI-powered virtual students in 2024

The two virtual students will participate in hybrid classes by completing assignments, interacting with students and professors and even eventually picking a major.

Big Rapids Daily News - WYBR-FM Big Rapids, MI Today's Hit Music

Ferris State University is exploring the development of artificial intelligence and learning how it can be used in classrooms and beyond by creating two virtual students who will enroll and participate in lessons and activities through the evolving technology.

The virtual students, named Ann and Fry, will enroll as freshmen, starting classes during the Spring 2024 semester. They will be a part of hybrid classes, interact with classmates and complete assignments.

Faculty and staff will monitor the interactions with professors and classmates, then use what they have learned to apply to potential applications in education and other areas.

Molly Cooper, a Ferris State professor and scholar of information security, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, said the virtual students’ experiences will help faculty members find new ways to make education more accessible, among other uses on campus and in the community.

“Ferris State is a leader in artificial intelligence education and can leverage its expertise to use the technology we teach to strengthen our ability to lead,” Cooper said. “The more we use artificial intelligence, we can see what it is capable of and how we can use it to do things more efficiently and effectively.”

Ferris State’s Artificial Intelligence program is one of just three AI undergraduate programs in the nation. It has close ties to industry and government partners, including the Department of Defense, National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, Amazon Web Services and many Michigan companies.

Artificial intelligence is the development of computer systems that are able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. That can include visual perception, as well as speech recognition, decision-making and translating. AI technology can process large amounts of data to recognize patterns and make decisions.

The field is growing rapidly, with roles in cloud computing, cybersecurity, data science and robotics, among other areas. The scope of artificial intelligence applications is accelerating and becoming critical for more industries, from healthcare and education to marketing and logistics.

The virtual student project involves a variety of Ferris State academic departments and is being directed by the Information Security and Intelligence Department.

Faculty members created backstories for Ann and Fry based on real student experiences, which will be used to help them complete tasks such as declaring a major.

“These virtual students, and the work we are doing around them, are another example of Ferris State showing leadership in technological fields,” Provost Bobby Fleischman said. “Our students have opportunities to learn from faculty members who are experts in their fields, gaining skills with real world applications that will lead to rewarding careers.”

Ferris State hosted its first AI Day earlier this month, a faculty collaboration from various programs and student organizations.

About 300 area high school students attended sessions at the university’s Center for Virtual Learning and participated in a series of interactive exhibits and workshops with Ferris State faculty and students focused on artificial intelligence technology, including a Deepfake Lab, an AI Social Engineering Lab, autonomous vehicle racing, working with Chat GPT, and AI’s use in space and satellite cybersecurity.

Ferris State University’s new Center for Virtual Learning will help students gain security skills ranging from keeping dangerous malware off your home computer to supporting the national defense from cyber-attacks. 

Ferris State’s heralded Information Security and Intelligence program and related study areas welcome students to the new $32 million Center for Virtual Learning this week. 

Molly Cooper, an associate professor in and alumna of Ferris’ Information Security and Intelligence Bachelor and Master of Science programs, said the state-of-the-art facility will have features that are among the first in a Michigan university. 

“We will have nested Faraday Laboratory rooms, which provide isolation from network communication signals,” Cooper said. “That will greatly enhance our abilities for learning in forensic analysis and the study of malware, a unique and awesome capability for analysis by our Information Security and Intelligence students.” 

As Ferris State’s Fall 2023 semester begins, the School of Digital Media, eLearning as part of Extended and International Operations and the School of Education will also be based in the Center for Virtual Learning. Cooper said the CVL’s Esports Arena will be an asset for their program and the others based there. 

“At a minimum, the arena will offer us incredible exposure for cybersecurity competitions, thanks to the staging and spectator seating in its design,” Cooper said. “We have been actively involved with student competitions for years and have hosted our own events for high schoolers and college students, but presentations in the arena will be more forward-thinking for all participants and the audience. The notable advance in monitoring for competitors and observers of these interactive events will bring us to an even more exciting place.” 

Cooper added that the Esports Arena presents a significant upgrade as their venue for tabletop exercises, where students react to cybersecurity scenarios. At the same time, the center’s podcast studio and collaborative spaces will intensify other learning experiences. 

Ferris’ Information Security and Intelligence program is a national leader, accredited by the National Security Agency, U.S. Department of Defense and the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Cooper said another significant attribute the center provides is increased space for the Artificial Intelligence and Project Management degree program. 

“The AI program is the only Bachelor of Science curriculum offered in Michigan,” Cooper said. “The new facilities and technology will bring online students in any of our study disciplines a more immersive classroom experience.” 

Information Security and Intelligence faculty continue their work on developing a graduate certificate program in Space Cybersecurity, with a Satellites and Space Cybersecurity course now being offered to Bachelor of Science and Master of Science students. 

“Being in the Center for Virtual Learning will offer greater support for our participation in the Michigan Space Initiative,” Cooper said. “We will be able to increase our involvement and advisement with the added amenities the CVL provides us.” 

Cooper said collaborative opportunities with other programs based in the center will augment learning for all involved. 

“Working with our CVL department partners will be incredible,” Cooper said. “We have just begun to imagine and explore the prospects of working together, bringing varied expertise to benefit all our students.” 

A ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house at the Center for Virtual Learning begins at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 31, the opening event of Ferris’ traditional Founders Day schedule.
