N.C. Central University (NCCU) is establishing the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Equity Research (IAIER) with a $1 million grant from Google.org. This initiative aims to empower students through interdisciplinary courses, research, and mentorship programs focused on AI-related careers. The institute is the first of its kind at a historically Black college or university (HBCU) and plans to impact 200 students over two years.
The IAIER will feature a 5,000-square-foot research center and has already begun hosting corporate-sponsored educational events.
