With funding from the SUNY Empire Innovation Program, the State of New York and private donations, the AI Innovation Institute focuses 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 Innovation
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.
