School of Artificial Intelligence

The discipline of building, directing, evaluating, and governing intelligent systems.

The Academy treats AI as a discipline of engineering and judgment: how to build systems, how to instruct them, how to evaluate them, how to secure them, and how to know when they are wrong. Not a genre. Not a market. A working craft, taught with the same rigor as any older field of computer science, and read against the institutional questions the technology raises.
