As we shape the University of Washington’s vision for AI, we must focus on where we can lead — starting on campus and extending our impact globally. This includes preparing our students with the skills and perspectives they will need to thrive in a world where AI is widely accessible.
The UW is at the forefront of AI innovation, advancing fields like machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing and robotics. We are deepening understanding of emerging technologies — such as large language models and generative AI — while developing practical, ethical tools for real-world applications.
Looking ahead, we are expanding the conversation. By engaging experts across public and private sectors — locally and globally — we aim to strengthen support for our faculty, staff, students and our partners as they explore the innovative and responsible use of AI in their work and discovery.
