In a move that will enhance its capabilities as a leader in AI research and application, Stony Brook University is launching the AI Innovation Institute (AI3), which will expand the Institute for AI-driven Discovery and Innovation established in 2018 from a department-level institute within the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences to the university-wide AI3, reporting to the provost.
Stony Brook University Provost and Executive Vice President Carl Lejuez made the announcement September 5 in an email to the university community.
Last spring, the Office of the Provost led a group of more than 30 faculty, staff, and administrators to consider how to expand and leverage SBU’s strengths in AI research and discovery. The resulting recommendation was to launch AI3, which follows recent investments by New York State and SUNY with initiatives like Empire AI, SUNY STRIVE for AI, and the SUNY IBM Alliance.
