The AI at Duke Steering Committee
The AI at Duke steering committee is an interdisciplinary group of Duke faculty and experts working to identify Duke’s priorities around AI and develop critical infrastructure and communities of practice to drive Duke forward as a leader in the evolving field of artificial intelligence. Alongside pillar advisory and working groups, the steering committee will develop recommendations to guide and shape how AI at Duke’s four pillars are developed and applied across the university.
