Artificial Intelligence

From degrees in engineering and geoinformation science to her current role as a director in AI and machine learning, Adjunct Professor Aisha Behr brings a wealth of industry experience to the classroom, inspiring students with real-world knowledge and innovative teaching methods. 

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.

Researchers Farrokh Alemi and Kevin Lybarger receive George Mason University’s first Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) award to develop innovative AI technology, including large language models, for improving antidepressant recommendations.

George Mason University is using $1 million from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to enhance emergency response, specifically using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve training and other capabilities of the emergency communication systems in Northern Virginia.

Ashish Hingle’s research examines how students develop an understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) through coursework and activities both inside and outside the classroom. He states, "As we prepare our students to be informed users and developers of algorithms and AI, we must align their learning with their interests." 

George Mason University continues to lead in responsible artificial intelligence, recently hiring two faculty who will work in the university’s cluster on AI, Social Justice, and Public Policy.

Two George Mason faculty member will represent the university on a governor-created task force on AI.
