About AI at Duke University
AI at Duke (ai.duke.edu) was launched as a collaborative initiative by the Provost’s Office and developed by the following Duke units: Learning Innovation & Lifetime Education, the Libraries, OIT, and Communications and Marketing. This evolving platform tells the story of artificial intelligence at Duke, highlighting the groundbreaking work of our Duke experts who are shaping the future of AI.
Here, you’ll find resources tailored for every member of our community, but this site is more than a resource hub; it’s a celebration of innovation, discovery, and Duke’s enduring commitment to excellence as we embark on our second century of impact.
Duke’s AI story is being written every day. If you have part of the story to share, reach out to us with details.
