Programs at The Loop
The Loop gives Xavier and the wider community practical ways to build AI literacy while keeping human judgment firmly in charge.
A cohort‑based program helping Xavier employees use generative AI responsibly, effectively, and confidently in everyday work. Employee cohorts begin in September 2026, with broader offerings for Xavier's wider network planned for 2027 and beyond.
Xavier teams can book The Loop for an AI workshop, working session, or event built around their own field.
