[AISWorld] Director of Institute of Artificial Intelligence at University at Albany, SUNY

[Gil-Garcia, J Ramon]

The University at Albany, State University of New York, seeks a collaborative, innovative leader to serve as the founding Director of the UAlbany Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI).

The new Institute for Artificial Intelligence will be the hub for a campus-wide effort in research, translation, and industrial partnerships in the field of AI to solve problems of regional, national, and international importance. The IAI will house the $200 million AI initiative that was launched in 2022 with an initial investment of $75 million from New York State.

The University at Albany is classified by Carnegie Foundation as an R1 institution of "very high research activity," as well as for its outstanding record of community engagement. The University is among the four SUNY Centers in the state university system. It has a broad mission to facilitate research and scholarly activities; education; and workforce training in sciences, engineering, social science, public health, humanities, and arts.

UAlbany recently launched a $200 million AI initiative, called AI Plus, which will significantly expand the artificial intelligence supercomputing resources available in the state of New York for teaching and research, as well as render UAlbany as one of the leading universities in AI in the nation. In addition, UAlbany is an anchor member of the $475 million EmpireAI initiative that was announced by New York Governor Kathy Hochul. University at Albany is also the first site of the nVidia's DGX cloud in the world and is home to IBM's first prototype AIU system. In October of 2023, IBM and UAlbany announced a new $20 million Center for Emerging AI Systems.
