University at Buffalo (UB)
Advancing Responsible AI in Practice
Connecting ub's people, expertise, Opportunities and Tools to realize AI for good.
The AI Innovation Exchange aims to bring together UB faculty, staff, researchers and leaders to turn artificial intelligence opportunities into meaningful, real-world solutions. More than a library of tools, the Exchange will be a collaborative hub for exploring AI-enabled workflows, developing digital agents and data-driven solutions, and supporting projects that improve how UB works, conducts research, teaches and learns.
Grounded in responsible innovation, the AI Innovation Exchange also helps establish shared guidance for ethical, secure and effective AI adoption across the university—so the UB community can experiment with confidence and create impact together.
