Artificial Intelligence
Today’s revolution in artificial intelligence didn’t come out of nowhere. Decades of research provided the theoretical and technical backbone for the massive scaling of generative AI models that are changing how we work and learn today. As computing power, data, and technology continue to evolve, SEAS researchers are focused on building the next generation of AI that is more capable, trustworthy, and efficient. At SEAS, we aren’t following an AI trend — we are building the foundation for what comes next.
