Future of AI
A Powerful AI Hub for the Academic World
AI technologies have opened the door for industries, health care and public agencies to speed up advances for a profound impact on people and society. But it will take stronger, faster, smarter AI computing to make breakthroughs in our most complex fields. It will also take impartial experts to make sure we harness AI for good, mitigate risks and promote responsible innovation.
That’s why UT has invested in bringing not only the hardware, but also industry, government and the world’s best researchers together in Austin — putting Texas Engineers at the center of this pivotal moment in AI.
