New $20 million center to bring artificial intelligence into the – IAM Network

CU Boulder postdoctoral researcher Rosy Southwell and undergraduate student Cooper Steputis demonstrate the use of a functional near-infrared spectroscopy device, which can monitor brain activity. Such laboratory studies will compliment efforts that a university research team is launching in Colorado classrooms. That's the vision of a new $20 million research collaboration that will be led by the University of Colorado Boulder. The project is called the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) AI Institute for Student-AI Teaming. It will explore the role that artificial intelligence may play in the future of education and workforce development--especially in providing new learning opportunities for students from historically underrepresented populations in Colorado and beyond.
