Albany AI: Transforming the Academic Landscape |
|
A $200 million public-private initiative based out of UAlbany's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) building — a neo-classical landmark built in 1912 that was formerly the home of Albany High School — Albany AI was lifted by $75 million in the 2022-23 state budget, which funds the completion of renovations to the CEAS building as well as the construction of a new supercomputer capable of harnessing massive data sets to facilitate next-generation AI research.
