FAU Taking the Lead in AI Revolution

The world's next industrial revolution is here, and is being nurtured at FAU, which was recently named Florida’s official “University of Distinction” for artificial intelligence and big data analytics.

Artificial intelligence (AI), the technology largely responsible for the next revolution, is changing industry standards. The concept of AI has since evolved beyond retrieving information and using formulas to solve complex problems, it now has thr ee main components, sensing, computing and connectivity. FAU is incorporating all of these components into engineering, medical and other areas of research and education.
