Transforming how we solve the world’s most complex challenges through cutting-edge research and education. The Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (IAD) brings together researchers, labs, institutes, and centers of excellence at the University at Buffalo that are focused on advancements in AI, data science, computational science and related areas of research to tackle these complex problems.

AI Plus is UAlbany’s holistic approach to integrating teaching and learning about AI throughout our academic and research programs to ensure every graduate is prepared to live and work in a world radically changed by technology in the coming decades. AI Plus is not a program within the University. It is an institution-wide recognition of the centrality of AI to the future of knowledge creation, scientific discovery, creative expression and workforce development — a future UAlbany is determined to lead.

With funding from the SUNY Empire Innovation Program, the State of New York and private donations, the AI Institute will focus on four grand challenges (health care, infrastructure, education, and finance) and five foundational research areas (automated and scalable knowledge acquisition, predictive intelligence, explainable AI, trustworthy AI, and ethical AI). Building on the strength of College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the AI Institute currently comprises ten core faculty drawn from Computer Science, Biomedical Informatics, Applied Mathematics, and Electrical Engineering. Another two dozen faculty from around the University with interests in AI and applications serve as affiliate faculty. We will develop and facilitate new research and educational programs aimed at fueling the workforce for the AI-driven economy of the future.
