About AIVO

The NSF AI Institutes Virtual Organization (AIVO) serves as a nexus for the 29 AI Institutes.

Leading agencies NSF and USDA-NIFA, together with other partners, have funded 29 AI Institutes, via the AI Institutes program that are carrying out a broad spectrum of research of critical importance to U.S. competitiveness, food security, public safety and education, ethics, and myriad other targets. The Institutes also work to engage the public through various outreach and educational programs. This work can be found in the research from each participant and was recently summarized in this special issue of AI Magazine (PDF).
