Launching a University-Wide AI Innovation Institute:
Last spring, the Office of the Provost led a group of over 30 faculty, staff, and administrators to consider how we can expand and leverage our strengths in AI research and discovery. The resulting recommendation was to launch a university-wide AI Innovation Institute (AI3), which would expand the Institute for AI-driven Discovery and Innovation established in 2018 from a department-level institute within the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) to the university-wide AI Innovation Institute reporting to the provost.
As a university-wide enterprise, the AI Innovation Institute (AI3) is intended to accelerate, coordinate, and organize AI innovation and education across Stony Brook. The institute will serve to empower the entire university community and beyond, catalyzing core AI research, curriculum innovation, and societal change in the ever-evolving landscape of knowledge work.
The AI Town Hall, led by AI3 Interim Director Skiena, is an open house event that will provide an overview of the major AI initiatives on campus, including the new AI Seed Grant program and Stony Brook's role in New York State's Empire AI program. The session will include time for questions and discussion about the future of AI at Stony Brook.
