is proud to announce its invitation to join the distinguished AI Alliance, a collaborative network of leading institutions and organizations dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence research, development, and governance. </span></p> <p><span>This invitation is the result of months of coordinated effort by LSU’s Office of Data and Strategic Analytics (ODSA), including members of its AI Faculty Fellows program, with support from LSU President William F. Tate IV.</span></p> <p><span>With most members of the AI Alliance being part of the Association of American Universities (AAU), LSU’s inclusion marks a significant achievement. It positions LSU as the only institution in Louisiana, both in higher education and industry, to be represented in this esteemed network.</span></p> <p><span>"We are honored to join the AI Alliance and to stand at the forefront of artificial intelligence research and education," said LSU President William F. Tate IV. "Our participation in the AI Alliance reflects LSU’s commitment to deploying safe and responsible AI systems that drive transformative innovation across sectors like agriculture, biotechnology, coastal resilience, defense, and energy. Through our Scholarship First Agenda, we are harnessing AI not only to reimagine education but also to enhance university operations, ensuring that LSU remains a leader in technological advancement."</span></p> <p><span>LSU’s faculty and students are already using AI and machine learning to push boundaries across various fields. From discovering new medical breakthroughs to advancing our understanding of the universe, LSU researchers are leveraging AI to address some of the world’s most complex challenges.</span></p> <p><span>"LSU is uniquely positioned to lead in AI research and education," said Supratik Mukhopadhyay, AI Fellow and professor at LSU. "Our work focuses on the deployment of safe and responsible AI systems that drive innovation in critical areas like Agriculture, Biotechnology, Coastal and Environmental Studies, Defense, and Energy."</span></p> <p><span>The AI Alliance is a collaborative network that includes universities, research institutions, startups, government organizations, and non-profits. Together, these stakeholders work at the forefront of AI to foster innovation and ensure responsible development.</span></p> <p><span>As a member of the AI Alliance, LSU will gain direct access to a global community of academic and industry leaders, strengthening its position as a hub for AI research, development, and application. The Alliance is focused on enabling researchers and developers to accelerate responsible AI innovation while ensuring safety, security, diversity, and economic competitiveness.</span></p> <p><span>"This is a remarkable opportunity for LSU to collaborate with like-minded institutions and organizations, all committed to shaping the future of AI," said Keena Arbuthnot, Vice President and Chief Data Officer . "We are excited about the opportunities this will bring for our faculty, students, and partners as we continue to explore AI’s potential to transform society."</span></p> <p><span>The AI Alliance’s efforts are crucial in promoting the ethical use of AI technology and advancing its potential to solve global challenges. LSU’s participation will further its mission of open scientific innovation, sharing knowledge and research that can shape a better, more informed world.</span></p> <div class="be-ix-link-block"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="contact-footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <h2>Contact</h2> <div class="contact-box"> <h2>Zach Labbé</h2> <p>Media Relations Coordinator<br> ‭(225) 506-9420‬</p><a href="mailto:zachlabbe@lsu.edu">zachlabbe@lsu.edu</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div><button data-target="#0" class="cd-top">Top</button> <footer class="footer"> <div class="row footer-main"><div class="footer-info"><a href="/"><img src="/_resources_fierce/svgs/lsu-logo.svg" class="footer-logo" alt="Louisiana State University"></a><address class="footer-address"> Louisiana State University<br> Baton Rouge, LA 70803 </address> </div><div class="footer-campus"> <nav class="footer-nav" aria-label="Campus links"> <ul> <li><a href="/a-z/index.php">A-Z Directory</a></li> <li><a href="/hrm/careers/index.php">Careers at LSU</a></li> <li><a href="https://map.lsu.edu/">Campus Map</a></li> <li><a href="https://lsu.edu/staysafe/index.php">Campus Safety</a></li> <li><a href="https://lsu.edu/employeehub/index.php">Employee Hub</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div><div class="footer-campus"> <nav class="footer-nav" aria-label="Campus links"> <ul> <li><a href="https://lsu.edu/registrar/academics/academic-calendars/index.php">Academic Calendar</a></li> <li><a href="https://calendar.lsu.edu/">Event Calendar</a></li> <li><a href="https://lsu.edu/catalogs/">General Catalog</a></li> <li><a href="/academicaffairs/cxc/geaux-communicate.php">Geaux Communicate QEP</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.lib.lsu.edu/">LSU Libraries</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> <div class="footer-contact"> <nav class="footer-nav" aria-label="Contact links"> <ul> <li><a href="/communications/index.php">Communications & University Relations</a></li> <li>3960 West Lakeshore Drive</li> <li>Baton Rouge, LA 70803</li> <li>Telephone: 225-578-8654</li> <li>Fax: 225-578-3860</li> </ul> </nav> </div> <div class="footer-social"> <nav class="footer-nav" aria-label="Social media links"> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/geauxlsu" aria-label="Facebook" target="_blank" role="button"><span class="fab fa-facebook fa-2x"></span></a></li> <li><a href="https://instagram.com/lsu" aria-label="Instagram" target="_blank" role="button"><span class="fab fa-instagram fa-2x"></span></a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/lsu" aria-label="X" target="_blank" role="button"><span class="fab fa-x-twitter fa-2x"></span></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/school/louisiana-state-university/" aria-label="LinkedIn" target="_blank" role="button"><span class="fab fa-linkedin fa-2x"></span></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/lsu" aria-label="Youtube" target="_blank" role="button"><span class="fab fa-youtube fa-2x"></span></a></li> <li><a href="https://snapchat.com/add/lsu" aria-label="Snapchat" target="_blank" role="button"><span class="fab fa-snapchat-ghost fa-2x"></span></a></li> <li><a href="https://tiktok.com/@lsu" aria-label="TikTok" target="_blank" role="button"><span class="fab fa-tiktok fa-2x"></span></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/viewlsu" aria-label="Pinterest" target="_blank" role="button"><span class="fab fa-pinterest fa-2x"></span></a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> </div> <div class="row footer-copyright"> <ul> <li><a href="https://itservice.lsu.edu/TDClient/51/OCUR/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=732">Website Feedback</a></li> <li><a href="https://itservice.lsu.edu/TDClient/30/Portal/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=653">Report ADA Accessibility Concerns</a></li> <li><a href="https://lsu.edu/accessibility/">Accessibility Statement</a></li> <li><a href="https://lsu.edu/nondiscrimination/">Notice of Non-Discrimination</a></li> <li><a href="/president/messages/2024/2024-01-05-engagement-message.php">Our Commitment to Engagement</a></li> <li><a href="https://lsu.edu/privacy/">Privacy Statement</a></li> </ul> <div class="footer-copyright-copy"> Copyright <span id="directedit">©</span> 2024 Louisiana State University.
