About the UC Tech News

University of California (UC) Technology News connects those working closely with university technologies. Top topics include Artificial intelligence, privacy, cyber security, digital accessibility, and design/user experience, among others. It is created by the UC Tech community, including 11,000 tech employees across 30+ entities, including campuses, medical centers, libraries, publishing houses and more. The UC Office of the President publishes each weekly issue thanks to hundreds of contributors. As subscriber commented recently, “It’s the only systematic way I can hear what’s going on across the UC in IT.”
