Ohio State awarded federal grant to advance responsible AI use | College of Engineering Ohio State awarded federal grant to advance responsible AI use Posted: September 24, 2025 The Ohio State University recently received a $1.
47 million grant from the National Science Foundation to lead a new Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) focused on developing the knowledge and workforce necessary to pursue artificial intelligence that is safe, accurate, impartial and accountable.
The Center on Responsible AI and Governance (CRAIG) will work with industry and government partners to identify the most pressing responsible AI challenges and develop both scalable solutions and the talent required to implement them. By advancing trustworthy AI, the center aims to increase AI’s acceptance and adoption—promoting competitiveness, national security and societal values.
“CRAIG will generate practice-informed research and forward-looking workforce development,” explained Principal Investigator Dennis Hirsch , professor of computer science and engineering, and law. The center brings together faculty from Ohio State, as well as partners Baylor University, Northeastern University and Rutgers University, with expertise in computer science, law, business and the social sciences.
These experts will collectively provide the interdisciplinary perspectives required to gain breakthrough insights into responsible AI.
Research teams will investigate core questions, such as: how to design more accurate and safe generative AI systems, which AI governance technologies and strategies best achieve social and business goals, how to audit deployed AI models, how to provide privacy and transparency in smart, sensed environments, how to engage constructively with ethical challenges pertaining to AI.
“Our teams’ multidisciplinary lenses enable them to perceive how technology, law, ethics and business management interact with and impact one another, generating fresh, practical insights and translational solutions,” Hirsch added. “Ohio State will leverage its deep expertise in AI auditing, explainability, law and governance to strengthen CRAIG’s research-based solutions.
” In combination with its research efforts, the new center will educate and train the next generation of responsible AI professionals. It will provide students with research experiences, internships, real-world mentors and curricular innovations. For professionals, it will offer continuing and executive education material.
“Together, the center’s research and educational pillars provide businesses and governments with the knowledge and workforce required to achieve safer, more trustworthy AI,” Hirsch said. “Thus, this project contributes to building a more sustainable, prosperous and secure AI economy.
” Center co-investigators are Computer Science and Engineering Professors Srinivasan Parthasarathy and Rajiv Ramnath, and Fisher College of Business Dean Aravind Chandrasekaran.
Other engineering faculty affiliated with the center include Integrated Systems Engineering Assistant Professor Samantha Krening, and Computer Science and Engineering Assistant Professor Andrew Perrault, Associate Professor Huan Sun and Assistant Professor Xueru Zhang.
The National Science Foundation's IUCRC program generates breakthrough research by enabling close, sustained engagement between industry innovators, world-class academic teams and government agencies.
The Ohio State College of Engineering is home to four other IUCRCs: the Center for Industrial Metal Forming , Manufacturing and Materials Joining Innovation Center , Smart Vehicle Concepts Center and the new Center for Accurate Georeferencing of the Environment. It is also a partner site for the Center for Disruptive Musculoskeletal Innovation . by Candi Clevenger, College of Engineering Communications, clevenger.
