AI Programs

AI is transforming everything around us. It’s exciting, fast-moving and, at times, a little overwhelming. In the wrong hands, or driven purely by profit, it can create real concerns. At the University at Buffalo, we’re taking a different approach. As a public research institution, we’re focused on using AI to advance society, protect communities and prepare the next generation of ethical, human-centered AI leaders. Our new AI programs give students the knowledge, skills and purpose to shape a future where technology truly serves people.

Realizing AI for Good

The intelligence may be artificial, but the research, impact and responsibility behind it are very real. UB’s AI+X degrees combine technical knowledge with a deep understanding of ethics, policy, and culture—so graduates can shape technology for the public good.
