Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become central to our daily lives. We're interacting with AI nearly every day. AI encompasses machines or computer systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence and mimic human behavior. WPI experts are at the forefront of leveraging AI in the advancement of several fields including healthcare, robotics, math education, data science, autonomous vehicles, wireless communications, and gaming. Our academic courses and programs infuse AI in teaching and learning, encouraging students to think critically about the ethical and societal implications of emerging technology. Our faculty experts are available to discuss the past, present, and future of AI.
