AI Day at George Mason
What does it take to prepare students, institutions, and a region for an AI-transformed world? On April 29, George Mason University convened researchers, educators, policymakers, and industry leaders at Fuse at Mason Square to find out.
From machine learning to data ethics, George Mason University’s AI research drives innovation and solutions that make a global impact.
- February 17, 2023More than 150 faculty and graduate students from George Mason University’s 10 schools and colleges got together in the Hub on Friday, February 3, to chat about artificial intelligence (AI).
- February 13, 2023Researcher Elizabeth “Beth” Phillips is working with collaborators from labs around the country to answer these pressing questions about artificial intelligence and robotics in her role as the principal investigator of Mason's Applied Psychology and Autonomous System Lab.
- January 25, 2023Missy Cummings, one of the country’s first female fighter pilots and the director of Mason’s autonomy and robotics center, calls herself a tech futurist, charged with making tech work and helping it get better. She isn’t shy about calling out bad tech either, including the vision systems in self-driving cars and Tesla’s Autopilot.
- January 3, 2023Drawn by Mason’s multidisciplinary research and teaching, Missy Cummings will create a new program in the design and deployment of Artificial Intelligence.
- January 26, 2022Researchers from the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative take on projects that expand the contributions of social scientists to cyber security challenges through funding of multidisciplinary projects.
- November 16, 2021Using virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI), a team of researchers at George Mason University is taking a wrecking ball to barriers faced by neurodiverse individuals in construction.
- August 12, 2021George Mason University Professor Aditya Johri has received a Fulbright-Nokia Distinguished Chair in Information and Communication Technologies award to conduct research in Finland during the 2021-22 academic year.

- August 5, 2021When he was growing up, Department of Computer Science associate professor Thomas LaToza’s family dinner table conversations often involved discussions about software deve
- July 29, 2021The institute is one of 11 new National Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes that NSF has established in 2021 with a total investment of $220 million. George Mason University professor Aditya Johri will serve as a member of the institute’s education and outreach team.
- July 27, 2021Professor Sanmay Das received two grants from the NSF to use computing to develop a new method of optimizing these resource allocation decisions.
- June 22, 2021Through a new large collaborative grant funded by the National Science Foundation, Aditya Johri, professor in the Department of Information Sciences and Technology, will work with researchers from Iowa State University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on use-inspired research to address one of the world’s grand challenges‑‑sustainably feeding the nearly 9 billion people who will inhabit the Earth by 2050.
- February 19, 2020George Mason University’s School of Business announced today that software company UiPath is donating $16.4 million in software licenses to help business students learn about robotic technology in classroom assignments and activities.
