Data and communication are critical pieces of many systems. For decades, computer science theorists worked to determine the best way to recover information when it gets corrupted in ways designed to make recovery difficult. 

There are problems that exist when reviewing any large datasets. A paper — co-authored by a University at Buffalo researcher and written 10 years ago — was recognized for its impact in helping to solve these problems. 

New Department of AI and Society, funded by a $5 million state grant, pairs AI with communication, geospatial analysis and other disciplines.

Tech & Learning quoted Atri Rudra in an article about how to choose the best AI-focused program. 

TechLearning.com published a story about UB’s new Department of AI and Society and quoted Atri Rudra, who noted that he wants to see the department become an incubator for AI that is built from the ground up with society in mind.

Inside Higher Education quoted Atri Rudra  in a report on how four universities, including UB, are incorporating generative AI into learning environments.

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.
