The Nexus Point for the
National AI Institutes
(2020 – PRESENT)
Director's Letter
The 29 National AI Research Institutes in the U.S. represent one of the most ambitious investments in AI this country has made. Extraordinary research is happening within each one.
AIVO exists to help that research go further: a program-level hub that connects and convenes institute leaders, enables collaboration across university walls, amplifies breakthroughs to the policymakers and public who need to understand them, engages the public, and builds the shared infrastructure that multiplies what each Institute can accomplish on its own.
The institutes within AIVO work across many disciplines to do the heavy lifting that university-based research does well: laying the foundations for beneficial AI methods and applications in the future. Take a look at what the institutes are doing by linking through to their websites. Explore the research and potential applications across the many different domains of AI institutes. Spend some time watching recordings and reading papers from the institutes. You will be capturing glimpses of the best thinking about these subjects and we are pleased to help with these connections.
