Rutgers researchers have been working in the field of artificial intelligence decades before AI started to become a common part of our lives. In 1968 Saul Amarel, founder of Rutgers' computer science department, wrote a paper about the technology that put him at the forefront of the AI movement.
Today, Rutgers is still breaking ground in the AI field. Rutgers professors are teaching courses to prepare students to be the next generation of leaders in AI. Rutgers researchers are exploring ways to use AI to fight crime, improve cybersecurity and expand job opportunities for people with disabilities. They are also tackling legal guidelines and philosophical questions surrounding the future.
Here are just some of the ways that Rutgers researchers are using AI to address critical needs in the world.
