Forbes highlights the work of three AI Institutes
“While AI transverses all disciplines, not only within engineering but across the University of Illinois campus, its advancement is at the center of three Illinois-led AI institutes funded by the National Science Foundation.”
AIFARMS
Forbes cites research in the core areas of “computer vision, machine learning, data science, soft object manipulation, and intuitive human–robot interaction” – and how they’re “working to create more productive and sustainable agriculture without increased labor, improve livestock operations with AI, and develop strategies to enhance crop resilience.”
MMLI
“The institute’s AI-driven advancements are essential in accelerating drug discovery, creating more sustainable pesticides and other chemicals for agriculture, and designing new materials for various applications, such as biodegradable plastics and other eco-friendly materials.”
INVITE
With a “mission to fundamentally transform how AI-based educational technologies interact with learners, especially those students who historically have been marginalized in STEM education,” the article notes, “INVITE aims to transform K-12 STEM education by developing AI-enabled learning technologies that support and understand learners in more nuanced ways. These new approaches will support learners as they persist through difficult material and collaborate with others, thus helping prepare them for successful careers in a rapidly changing technological landscape.”
