Artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative and increasingly pervasive technology that is changing our lives in fundamental and profound ways. As part of
In 2025, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ joined a statewide consortium of leading public and private academic institutions, who are collaborating to facilitate groundbreaking AI research and innovative technological development. As the consortium's only integrated health system, we are driving the advancement of AI-powered health care.
We are Empire AI
We're home to the New York State Center of Excellence (CoE) in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. Established in 2014, the CoE supports New York businesses through data science and AI tools and techniques to take on challenges and deliver critical insights. To date, that's resulted in an economic impact of more than $140 million.

At the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, our scientists are studying laser-driven inertial confinement fusion for the purposes of national security and harvesting energy from nuclear fusion. They have a substantial technological edge in one of the most powerful and energy-efficient computer systems in the world.
Meet "Conesus"
"Tier 3" is the second highest classification for a data center. It means the center has multiple paths for power and cooling as well as redundant systems that allow maintenance to be done without going offline. We own one of these facilities, giving it an increased capacity for machine learning and AI research.
The newly retitled institute reflects our AI expertise. It serves as an interdisciplinary hub, creating new opportunities for our faculty and students to collaborate and stay on the cutting edge of AI research.
The University offers a BS, BA, MS, and PhD in computer science and a BA, BS, and MS in data science through the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. And Simon Business School offers an online MS in business analytics and applied AI. Additional degree and certification programs are available and forthcoming.
An associate professor in computer science, Kanan teaches and researches deep learning models, which provide the foundation for technology such as ChatGPT. While artificial intelligence is changing the way we work and live our lives, there are also enormous challenges and dangers that need to be addressed.
