“Our colleges and departments have adopted those parts of AI most relevant to their disciplines. For example, in agriculture, it’s all about robotics and remote sensing. In business, it’s about the integration of AI with financial services (i.e., fintech). In building construction and medicine, it’s all about digital twins. So, each college or department teaches those parts of AI that are relevant to their fields.” —Joe Glover, Interim Provost, University of Florida
