0 Arrives One of higher education’s fastest supercomputers arrives at the University of Florida; assembly begins later this month New Semiconductor Research Institute University of Florida to lead hub for $285 million semiconductor research institute UF Researchers Develop New Training Method to Help AI Tools Learn Safely A new approach to safer AI training Inaugural AI Research Award Winners The UF Artificial Intelligence and Informatics Research Institute (AIIRI) aims to advance AI and informatics research at the University of Florida.

AIIRI brings together preeminent researchers that explore many contemporary application areas from our institution. From science and medicine, or humanities to engineering, UF experts develop the tools and technologies to support and complement these studies. These collaborative efforts result in important conclusions across many fields.

The institute aims to build a stronger UF AI research community, enhance our external AI visibility, and support AI research across campus with a focus on four major areas: AI and Informatics Techniques and Technologies Research into the hardware, software, algorithms, and mathematical approaches needed to develop the next generation of intelligent techniques and technologies.

This also includes supporting infrastructure for computation, bandwidth and storage. Biomedical and Life Science Informatics and AI Applications Use of AI and informatics to address fundamental questions in genetics, genomics, biodiversity, environment, agricultural science, as well as its application for improved human health outcomes.

AI and Informatics for Engineered Systems and the Physical Sciences Application of intense computation and complex AI and informatics to understand and design complex engineered systems, and to uncover the fundamental nature of our physical world and universe.

AI and Informatics in Social Science, Humanities and Education Leveraging the explosion of data in understanding people, cultures, political development, education, and human behavior. I believe one of the best ways to carry out research with impact is to tackle big challenges with a team that spans disciplines. Discover the latest in AI Research around the university.
