This project is an NSF funded (Award Number 2334265) “ExpandAI Partnership” between the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez (UPRM) and the AI Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI) In this project, a minority-serving institution leads a new collaboration with an AI Institute focused on scaling up already-established research and education programs at UPRM and to pursue shared, complementary goals around developing AI with use for society in mind and for developing the next generation of AI education and workforce talent. The collaborative research focuses on the development of AI for contributing to breakthroughs in high-energy physics experiments. The project will also build community and new centers of excellence in AI where such activities were not previously well developed.
