The AI Plus Institute at the University at Albany is a leading center for cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) research, education and collaboration.
As the research arm of UAlbany’s innovative and overarching AI Plus initiative, the Institute promotes foundational and use-case AI research and matches AI specialists with other faculty and partners with problems and challenges that AI can help solve.
Through a holistic approach, strategic partnerships and faculty expertise, the AI Plus Institute is poised to revolutionize interdisciplinary AI research and its applications.
AI is more than a technological breakthrough; it is a mirror of our moment. It reflects our values, challenges our notions of creativity and reshapes our economy.
Hallucinations is our new forum for all things AI — a space intended to underscore that reflective capacity.
Whether you are a researcher training the next generation of large language models, an artist deconstructing how a surveillance algorithm “sees” or a skeptic questioning the roadmap to General Intelligence, this space is for you.
We are a vibrant, interdisciplinary community that leverages UAlbany’s strength in AI to pursue groundbreaking research and practical innovations to advance the public good.
Our faculty members have AI expertise across multiple disciplines, including public health, engineering, education, business, homeland security, STEM and political science.
The Institute provides comprehensive support for faculty members engaged in AI research.
From grant assistance to facilitating cross-disciplinary collaborations, faculty are empowered to pursue ambitious research agendas and secure external funding.
The integration of AI across academic disciplines is a core focus of the Institute.
By promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers from diverse backgrounds, we drive interdisciplinary AI research that addresses real-world challenges and opportunities.
With a vision to be at the forefront of AI innovation and research, the AI Plus Institute is dedicated to driving impactful research that addresses real-world challenges and opportunities.
Our strategic focus areas include AI ethics, AI for social good and AI-driven innovation, among others.
The AI Plus Collaborative Research Experience (AI Plus CoRE) supports interdisciplinary faculty-led research teams focused on the human and social dimensions of artificial intelligence.
Each CoRE team is co-led by two faculty members from different disciplines, supported by a graduate assistant and joined by undergraduate researchers who contribute directly to active, publishable research projects.
Whether you're a researcher seeking to contribute to cutting-edge AI research, a student interested in exploring the field of artificial intelligence or an industry partner looking to collaborate on AI-driven innovation, the AI Plus Institute invites you to engage with us.
Together, we are not just adapting to the future at AI; we are shaping it. Contact the Institute’s Director Balakrishnan (Prabha) Prabhakaran at [email protected] to get started.
