The University at Albany's Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Initiative is among the education projects funded in the New York state budget. The project, estimated to cost $75 million, will expand the artificial intelligence resources available in the area. Once completed, the university expects all students, no matter their major, to use AI in their daily studies. "We think with this cluster coming here and this focus in AI, we will be teaching our undergraduate students AI from the first year," said Kesh Kesavadas, vice president for research and economic development at UAlbany. The idea is for students in all programs to get a chance to work with artificial intelligence, whether it be cybersecurity or music composition, and to give them an opportunity that has not been available.
