The Power of Partnerships
As reported by UB Now and others, Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed a statewide tech consortium, to be called Empire AI, for research and innovation in artificial intelligence and data science.
Empire AI aims to serve as a consortium of New York State research universities that would help fundamentally change the AI landscape, accelerate research and innovation, and create sustained economic impact across the state. Hochul envisions the tech hub as a premier center where public and private research institutions alike can together leverage the possibilities of AI to solve a spectrum of societal problems.
As a SUNY flagship with a robust cyberinfrastructure, UB is under consideration as a potential site for Empire AI. UB has more than 200 faculty members already working on numerous foundational and use-inspired AI projects.
