The BIDS Leadership Team is proud to announce a new hub for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, data science, and society. In partnership with UC Investments, the AI Futures Lab is a pioneering model that directly connects UC’s intellectual capital with long-term investment strategy.
The Lab will occupy 5,000 square feet of flexible office space, conference rooms, and a seminar space one block from campus, where faculty and researchers can convene and work collaboratively and discussion between research groups and projects will spark innovation. The space will accommodate projects and programs of varying sizes and duration. The AI Futures Lab has a crucial digital component, too – a Jupyter-powered cloud workspace, connecting government, industry, and nonprofit organizations.
