IIAI
The main goal of the Iowa Initiative for Artificial Intelligence (IIAI) is to support interdisciplinary artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) education and research collaborations at the University of Iowa. The formation of this initiative reflects a strong institutional support to AI, machine learning, deep learning, and high-performance GPU computing across application areas.
IIAI's HawkAI sequence of educational courses brings to the University AI/ML literacy and proficiency for interested Iowa students, staff, and faculty.
Education is tailored to all levels of interest - starting with those with no or little computational background all the way to those who want to become proficient in developing AI and machine learning tools and applications. Furthermore, the IIAI brings together faculty members, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows with active research in this area.
The Iowa Initiative for Artificial Intelligence formed in 2018 is one of the earliest educational and applied-research AI initiatives at the universities worldwide.
Our Mission
The mission of IIAI is to foster efficient and cooperative inter-disciplinary and cross-college research and discovery in artificial intelligence, and to improve training and education within the broader community at the University of Iowa.
