Artificial Intelligence Initiative at Auburn University

The AI@AU Initiative will build a university-wide computational infrastructure for AI research and education; enhance the university-wide faculty infrastructure for AI research and education; assemble a university-wide multi-disciplinary faculty team to expand AI research and education; and explore university-wide educational innovations in AI.
Objectives
- An engineering-led, university-wide faculty group for coordinating and supporting AI-related educational and research activities
- The installation of an AI computational resource to support AI-related education and research
- The creation of a university-wide seminar series, featuring prominent researchers who apply AI to their research specialties
- The creation of AI graduate and undergraduate certificate programs for students – preparing them for the workplace
- The creation of a faculty-expert, AI thinktank that eventually generates extramural funding from research-focused ideas
