Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence
AI and Machine Learning Research at Stevens
The Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence advances the fundamentals and applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning research to solve complex problems that advance technology — and make the world a better place. Launched in 2018, SIAI is Stevens’ newest and largest center. It is comprised of more than 100 engineering, business, systems and design experts from across the university who share a collaborative research.
Our Vision
Artificial intelligence is transforming the world and industry as we know it, and the future of AI remains seemingly limitless. In a world where AI-enabled innovation continues to rapidly evolve, SIAI and its Stevens collaborators will synergistically develop solutions to real-world problems.
Founded on that premise, the Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence envisions the exploration of opportunities to advance AI and machine learning to serve humanity and to improve disciplines such as healthcare, business operations, the workplace and education.
This vision will flourish through the convergence of faculty research, the positive impact of partner organizations and agencies, foundational research sponsors like the National Science Foundation, National Institutes for Health and the Department of Defense; and the deployment of AI and machine learning solutions for business advantage, social good, and national security.
