In a move to further position UCLA at the forefront of artificial intelligence advancements and to bring focused innovative technology to UCLA and the University of California system, 

Chris Mattmann has been named UCLA’s inaugural chief data and artificial intelligence officer. The position is the first of its kind at any University of California campus and one of just a few at universities in the U.S.

The rapid rise of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tools over the past several years has been met with feelings of both enthusiasm and concern. However, no matter how one feels about this technology, it certainly has significant implications for the way we conduct our research, academic and administrative activities.

Saturday, December 19, 2020 through Sunday, January 3, 2021 IT Services offices will be closed, but services and systems will be operating. The IT Support Center will have staff available to provide technical support during the following operating hours: December 21-23, 7am-4pm and December 28-30, 7am-4pm.

As you may (or may not!) have heard, UCLA is piloting CA COVID Notify, a new exposure notification system from Google and Apple that can quickly notify you if you have likely been exposed to COVID-19 so you seek medical attention sooner and reduce risk of exposing your friends, family and the Bruin community. 

A university-wide IT assessment was launched in mid-August to review, assess, and evaluate the current information technology environment and provide recommendations as well as a roadmap for improving and aligning IT capabilities to meet the strategic needs of its students, faculty, researchers, and staff. 

From 2 p.m. Wed., August 19, until 11 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30, 2020, Facilities Management is closing the chilled water supply to some campus buildings, and is strongly encouraging faculty and staff in those buildings to telecommute. 

IT Services is pleased to announce the launch of phase one of its new API Developer Portal. The API Developer Portal is a key component of the UCLA API Management Platform —  it's the “face” of the UCLA API program and is the central hub for discovering campus APIs across many disciplines.
