  • AI Seminar-Building World-class AI Innovation Ecosystems: Experience and FutureBuilding World-class AI Innovation Ecosystems: Experience and Future

    Tue, Feb 18, 2025 @ 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM

    Information Sciences Institute

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Amit Sheth, Univ of South Carolina

    Talk Title: Building World-class AI Innovation Ecosystems: Experience and Future

    Series: AI Seminar

    Abstract: In the first part of this two-part talk, I will share my experience in building two high-impact innovation ecosystems focused on foundational, interdisciplinary, and translational AI. Key components of these ecosystems include visionary leadership—identifying and establishing a presence on topics and themes before they become trends—as well as creating high-performance, highly motivated collaborative teams. This involves recruiting exceptional faculty and students and providing world-class resources and facilities. The outcomes of these efforts include outstanding student success, interdisciplinary collaborations that merge foundational research with real-world applications, high-impact and well-cited publications, competitive funding, regional technical leadership, partnerships with industry, and support for startups and entrepreneurship. Additionally, there are significant regional economic impacts, along with national and international recognition for overall excellence.
