The National Science Foundation today announced the creation of 11 new research institutes devoted to Artificial Intelligence, including one at Duke and one at NC State University. The $220 million total investment comes after a $140 million NSF investment created seven other AI institutes last year.
Duke’s center, Athena, the AI Institute for Edge Computing Leveraging Next-generation Networks, will support a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, statisticians, legal scholars, and psychologists from seven universities. The center aims to transform the design, operation, and service of future mobile systems and networks.
Some of the five-year, $20 million support for the Duke center will also come from the Department of Homeland Security. Duke’s Athena partner institutions include: MIT, Yale, Princeton, Wisconsin, University of Michigan and North Carolina A&T.
