This unique department focuses on transdiciplinary research, training and community outreach at New York's flagship university—aiming to shape the next generation of visionaries who take tools from society to build AI systems.
The department will harness artificial intelligence for the public good, and build upon UB’s longstanding leadership in AI and its role as New York’s flagship university.
"This new department reflects a strong commitment to ensuring that AI technologies are used ethically and that their benefits are equitably distributed across society."
