North Carolina Central University announced a $1 million grant from Google.org, Google’s philanthropic arm, to establish the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Equity Research (IAIER). The Institute will serve as a first-of-its kind program for a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) in the nation. To celebrate Wednesday’s NCCU hosted an event on its campus, bringing together representatives from other grant recipients along with university and Google leaders, local elected officials and students. The support from Google.org for NCCU’s program is designed to enhance research and educational opportunities and position students and the state as leaders in AI innovation and equity, and workforce development. Dr. Siobahn Grady, an assistant professor at North Carolina Central, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the grant.
