Staying at the forefront of the rapidly evolving fields of data-driven decision-making and artificial intelligence is one of the most exciting challenges of our time. Achieving general artificial intelligence that rivals human intelligence in problem-solving, reasoning, perception, and energy efficiency will require advanced hardware to gather and process vast amounts of data. We are pushing the frontiers in all these areas through active cross-campus collaborations, including partnerships with Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Tech in New York City.
