AI

George Mason University faculty are designing an AI system to provide speedy, accurate information to authorities during emergencies, helping them direct the public to shelters safely and effectively.

George Mason University is pioneering a cognitive learning approach that integrates AI into education through creative, scaffolded course design, preparing students to collaborate with technology rather than avoid it.

George Mason University will offer a master of science in artificial intelligence (AI) starting this fall, becoming Virginia’s first public university to offer a stand-alone master’s degree in this field.

The Virginia county’s Department of Public Safety Communications and Emergency Management worked with George Mason University researchers to develop AI-enhanced video games for skills building for first responders.

A new course combines expertise from several George Mason units. The purpose? To teach the ethics of artificial intelligence. See who is teaching and when the course starts.

George Mason University’s College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) plans to collaborate with the Indian Institute of Technology–Ropar (IIT–Ropar) as one of three Centers of Excellence (CoEs) in AI. This collaboration results from a call for proposals last winter from the Ministry of Education of India which seeks to improve the nation’s AI ecosystem through cooperation with partners worldwide.
