IUPUI is launching a new research institute that will take an integrative approach to the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies, programs and applications. The Institute for Integrative Artificial Intelligence at IUPUI will capitalize on a rich interdisciplinary tradition and create an environment for the discovery of new and innovative approaches and applications for AI.

At Indiana University, what sets AI research apart is collaboration -- both interdisciplinary work among AI faculty experts and work with government and industry partners -- and access to IU's world-leading university IT infrastructure.

The mission of the institute, set to launch in early June, is to act as a catalyst for the promotion and coordination of AI and AI-related research activities at IUPUI and beyond, and to develop major research initiatives for high-impact AI technologies and applications...

"These two key ingredients -- along with IUPUI's proven record of collaborative, interdisciplinary approaches to research spanning life sciences, engineering, the arts, humanities, medicine and more -- ideally position IUPUI to launch this institute.

"Add to this Shiaofen Fang's leadership, and this is the right time, the right place, with the right people to accelerate AI innovation on a local, national and global scale."
