A new institute at UMass Boston will focus on the social, ethical and diversity challenges and opportunities associated with artificial intelligence.
UMass Boston said it wants to give its graduates"the tools to shape the increasingly AI-powered world of work."
The university on Wednesday introduced the Paul English Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute, saying it was conceived and funded by tech entrepreneur and UMass Boston alumnus Paul English and would be"embedded in academic study across campus." UMass Boston Provost Joseph Berger predicted the institute"will promote the democratization of artificial intelligence by empowering every UMass Boston student to graduate with fluency -- and a competitive edge -- in ethically leveraging evolving AI-powered tools to improve processes and outcomes in their chosen professional field."
The opportunities for artificial intelligence to deliver promising advances, and potentially dangerous outcomes, have been coming into sharper focus this year, and the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday held a public meeting to examine the landscape and hear from insiders.
