Building an AI University
The University of Florida Artificial Intelligence Initiative touches every corner of the university, aiming to reach every corner of the world.
Embracing AI on Every Level
When the University of Florida partnered with NVIDIA to serve as home to one of the world’s fastest supercomputers in higher education, it stepped onto the forefront of AI in higher education. Rather than reserve this powerful resource for researchers and faculty in designated colleges or STEM disciplines, UF has used this technology to transform the university as a whole.
Preparing Everyone for the Promise of AI
The World Economic Forum has predicted that 97 million new jobs will require some level of AI talent this year.
All academic disciplines and industries engage with massive amounts of data, and data is at the heart of nearly every facet of modern life. UF has embarked on a university-wide effort to benefit the state and nation, and prepare the 21st century workforce, through producing graduates—and conducting research—that uses AI to transform data into action.
AI Across the Curriculum
Since 2020, UF has embarked on a university-wide effort to produce an AI-enabled workforce for Florida and beyond.
Creating AI-Enabled WorkersAI Ethics
The ethical issues surrounding AI—privacy, transparency, bias, academic integrity—are serious. UF requires ethics courses in its certificate and micro-credential programs.
