Message from the Dean
Artificial Intelligence — is it the future or a fleeting trend? A panacea or a potential risk? The truth likely lies somewhere in between. Nevertheless, we cannot afford to overlook it.
It is our responsibility to ensure that our students are equipped to utilize AI responsibly in their careers and that our researchers can identify and address the pertinent ethical considerations. Consequently, our college is at the forefront of AI education, research, and practical applications within our disciplines.
The College of Information and Communications is dedicated to setting the highest standards through pioneering classes and projects, state-funded initiatives to educate citizens on AI, and rigorous examination of ethical issues. By educating students, faculty, and businesses about AI, we are fostering innovation, economic growth, and a workforce prepared for the future.
