Artificial intelligence, also known as machine learning, is a discipline within computer science. Artificial intelligence does much more than computing numbers. AI is more conceptual, such as describing qualities, or understanding meanings in different contexts. Here are the top 5 universities engaged in AI and ML research in 2021.
School of Computer Science
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The School of Computer Science has a groundbreaking program in Artificial Intelligence. It was the first to offer a Bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence in the US (starting in 2018).
CMU offers two Artificial Intelligence Degrees:
The Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence (BSAI) is interdisciplinary, with instructors from:
Students must take:
The Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation (MSAII) is offered through the Language Technologies Institute. It is also interdisciplinary, with instructors from:
Students must take:
Research teams at CMU developed the CoBots. CoBots are mobile, intelligent robots. They are "aware of their perceptual, physical, and reasoning limitations and proactively ask for help from humans".
Professor Tuomas Sandholm and Ph.D. student Noam Brown developed the Libratus program. This program has beaten professional No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em poker players. Many students studying AI take part in the DARPA Robotics Challenge.
Stanford, California
Stanford University has established itself as a world-leading teaching and research institution. The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL) has been studying and researching Artificial Intelligence since 1962. SAIL offers courses, hosts events and manages outreaches to schools.
Degree in Artificial Intelligence:
The Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence is in the School of Engineering. The Graduate Certificate has one required course, and three required electives. The Certificate is 13 to 15 units.
Required Course:
Some of the Electives:
Students have a maximum of three years to complete the Certificate.
Stanford also offers a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, which includes courses on AI.
Cambridge, Massachusetts
MIT was founded in 1861 in response to the growing industrial capacity of America and the need for more technologically-minded personnel. As a result, the majority of programs offered at MIT are technology-based, and thus many are related to the study of Artificial Intelligence.
In 1959 the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory began its own research and experimentation, and in 1963 the Laboratory for Computer Science was opened. As the projects became more and more interconnected, the two labs merged in 2003 to create the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the largest and most prominent of the MIT laboratories.
Degree in AI:
Currently, there are more than 100 senior researchers and faculty members representing eight academic departments, managing more than 50 research groups and hundreds of projects. Other participants include 40 postdoctoral fellows and associates, 350 graduate students, and approximately 50 undergraduate students. In total there are over 1,000 members of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. All research and experimentation fall under three generalized categories: Artificial Intelligence, Systems, and Theory.
Related Course in AI:
Offered through the MIT Sloan School of Management and the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). This is an online collaborative program that's handled through third-party GetSmarter. This course program teaches the business aspects of how to capitalize on and manage Artificial Intelligence applications. It is not a course for learning the technical aspects of AI.
Berkeley, California
The oldest of the institutes for higher education in the California system, Berkeley has an extensive array of facilities and persons dedicated to the teaching and research of Artificial Intelligence.
Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Laboratory includes more than two dozen faculty members and over a hundred graduate students. In addition to research opportunities the AI lab offers seminars and courses such as Computational Imagining and Robotic Manipulation and Interaction.
The Robotics and Intelligent Machines Laboratory at Berkeley includes:
Other research centers include the Laboratory for Information and System Science, the Vision and Learning Center, the Center for Human Compatible Artificial Intelligence, and the International Computer Science Institute.
Much of the study of AI is affiliated with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences.
Related Courses in AI:
Cambridge, Massachusetts
In 1847 Harvard University opened the Lawrence Scientific School as its first formal effort to provide higher-level education in engineering and the sciences. Over time, this effort grew into the current John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, established in 2007.
This school now has 76 tenured faculty members and more than 1,300 students in attendance. The study of Computer Science itself is available to undergraduates through doctoral candidates. Students enrolled in the program are encouraged to engage with the Harvard College Engineering Society for cross-disciplinary research, and networking opportunities.
Related Programs and Courses in AI:
Other Centers and Institutes of research managed by the school include the Institute for Applied Computational Science, the Technology and Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. Under the category of Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and the subsets of Computational Linguistics, Machine Learning, Multi-agent Systems, and Robotics, are researched in detail by various faculty members. In 2013 the National Science Foundation Awarded Harvard and MIT 25 million dollars in order to build the Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines.
In 2015, the Future Society at Harvard's Kennedy School created The AI Initiative, which is yet another artificial intelligence research center. The center focuses more on oN research, whereas the initiative has a stronger emphasis on shaping global policy as it relates to AI. This makes Harvard one of the few schools that put as many resources into understanding the ramifications of AI as it invests into actually developing AI technology.
