Empire AI will place UBuffalo at the forefront of the growing field of AI. With an emphasis on the public good, UB will lead the way in public AI research and determine how AI can transform our future for the better.

A smart and important take from SAS Software's Jason DiNovi: The development of emerging technologies and of societal benefits can (and should!) be a two-way street.

Here in New York, #EmpireAI is one large-scale effort to achieve that: timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

A great afternoon in Buffalo with Majority Leader Crystal D. Peoples-Stokes and other state leaders, alongside top UBuffalo researchers, to highlight the benefits #EmpireAI will bring to New York's workforce and economy:

New York has been on the forefront of technology throughout history. This is not an opportunity we can afford to waste.

By investing in Empire AI, we'll make New York the national leader in AI research and innovation — and make sure we continue to lead for generations to come.

.Chancellor John B. King: 'New York has successfully completed projects like this before. Decades of steadfast commitment and support created a state-of-the-art nanotech complex in Albany that transformed the semiconductor industry.'

#EmpireAI follows that model:newsday.com/opinion/commen…
