Building the AI-Enabled University

At the Forefront of Innovation in Research and Higher Education

Universities are preparing students for an ever-changing world. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and data science are poised to become a core fabric of higher education and research institutions and a key to unlocking scientific breakthroughs. Leading universities are tapping into NVIDIA GPU-accelerated supercomputers, labs, and programs to equip students, faculty, and researchers with the tools they need to transform the world.

Industry-University Partnerships to Create AI Universities

An initiative between NVIDIA and the University of Florida is turning the idea of an “AI university” into reality. From the perspective of the Innovation Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), this public-private partnership model is working to advance AI research, train the next-gen workforce, and ensure equitable access to AI resources.

AI Education & Access at Scale

The U.S. government recognizes its important role in broadening access to AI resources for workforce development with the passage of the $280B CHIPS & Science Act. The National Science Foundation is leading an effort to create a national network of AI research centers by facilitating partnerships between government agencies, academic institutions, and industry leaders. A model example of such a partnership is that of the University of Florida and NVIDIA, who in 2021 built the largest AI supercomputer in academia. This conversation with key individuals from industry, academia, and government will review how the partnership was constructed & implemented, national goals for equitable AI research & education, and how federal agencies can learn from this project to strengthen the American workforce as a whole.

AI for Microelectronics Design

Conventional microelectronics design tools employ modeling and simulation to study system performances and limitations. Over the last decade, the microelectronics design space has grown exponentially because of the enormous growth in computing architecture types and application software. Computer simulators are commonly used for microelectronics design exploration. However, complex chip simulations, utilizing these conventional simulators, take an enormous amount of time. AI-based methods for microelectronics design are gaining popularity due to reduced cost and time-to-market for chip design and fabrication. We'll discuss AI-based approaches for microelectronics design and fabrication.

We look forward to DGX H100 systems powering our collaborative research tackling grand challenges in climate science, sustainability, and microelectronics. The systems are key groundwork for AI infrastructure we’ll deploy in the new Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex, enabling Oregon State University to drive innovation, solutions, entrepreneurship, and partnerships with industry and other higher education institutions to benefit Oregon, the nation, and the world.

— Edward Feser, Oregon State University Provost and Executive Vice President

We adopted a unique philosophy of ‘AI Across the Curriculum’ to ensure that all students in all majors have the opportunity to acquire the skills of AI in the context of their chosen disciplines. All colleges and departments have enthusiastically embraced this, and most are integrating AI into the curriculum. Not only does this give our students a leg up in the job market, but we believe it is a scalable model to answer the nation’s pressing need to develop a twenty-first-century AI-savvy workforce at scale.

— Joe Glover, Provost, University of Florida
