AI at Duke
AI at Duke is a collaborative strategic initiative that brings together Duke experts across all disciplines who are advancing AI research and applications, addressing the most pressing ethical challenges posed by AI, and shaping the future of AI in the classroom and in our lives.
This website is a central hub for AI resources, amplifying AI stories across Duke and providing information to the Duke campus community on harnessing the power of AI in research, teaching and learning and using AI ethically and responsibly.
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming our future by driving innovation across research and education. It plays a pivotal role in advancing scientific discovery, from accelerating medical breakthroughs to solving complex global challenges. Duke’s AI Framework establishes four pillars built upon a strong, foundational AI infrastructure and systems.
“The recent advances we have made in AI represent perhaps the largest breakthrough humanity has had in decades. As such, AI is clearly one of the biggest opportunities and biggest challenges we will face in higher education for the foreseeable future.”
– Provost Alec Gallimore

With $15 Million Grant, Duke Team Expands AI Tool to Predict Teen Mental Illness
A team at Duke University School of Medicine has received a $15 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to improve and expand an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps catch early signs of mental health problems in teenagers and adolescents.
The AI model, called the Duke Predictive Model of Adolescent Mental Health (Duke-PMA), analyzes data on behavior, emotions, and brain function to identify kids at high risk for mental illness even before symptoms appear. It has already shown it can predict worsening mental health up to a year in advance with 84% accuracy in kids ages 10 to 15.
