City and State interviews UB's head of economic development, Venu Govindaraju, about AI research and commercialization.
Via City & State special projects editor, John Celock:
One of the most transformational projects in New York higher education is Empire AI, a first-in-the-nation consortium of public and private research universities to advance artificial intelligence research in the state. Headquartered at the University at Buffalo, Empire AI is predicted to have not just an academic impact on the state – including from research and the growth of new academic programs – but an economic impact with the research serving as a base for new companies. City & State talked with Venu Govindaraju, the University at Buffalo’s senior vice president for research, innovation and economic development, to discuss where Empire AI is going. Govindaraju has been working on artificial intelligence projects for over 30 years, earning him the moniker “the OG of AI.”
