As Michigan Tech faculty and staff return to campus for the 2024-25 academic year, the Institute of Computing and Cybersystems (ICC) is proud to share some exciting news from over the summer. In May, the University launched a new Center for Artificial Intelligence.
Hosted within the ICC and led by Vinh Nguyen (MAE/MMET), the Center for Artificial Intelligence is the evolution of the ICC Data Science Center, with a renewed focus on pioneering AI research across various domains.
By leveraging Michigan Tech’s existing strength in engineering and computing, the center aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Innovative Research — Conducting cutting-edge research to challenge the boundaries of possibility by developing new AI algorithms, models and technologies to benefit not only Michigan Tech, but communities across the country.
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration — Fostering a multidisciplinary center in which AI experts from diverse disciplines across MTU’s campus can build highly collaborative research proposals and deliver groundbreaking research outcomes in AI.
- External Partnerships — Building strong and successful partnerships with local, regional and national entities to transform AI innovations into real-world applications.
- AI Education — Educating and training the next generation of AI experts, and supporting opportunities for a strong AI education in Michigan and beyond.
