Artificial Intelligence

George Mason University officially opened its Mason Autonomy and Robotics Center, a collaborative space where students will perform research on a variety of emerging fields related to artificial intelligence and autonomous devices.

Civil engineering professor David Lattanzi teams up with colleagues in the College of Public Health to help build a new tool that will help clinicians identify bruises and injuries from domestic violence in a new way.

Xuan Wang, an assistant professor in George Mason University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, is trying to ensure safety in human-computer autonomous systems.

Two College of Engineering and Computing faculty members, Kai Zeng and Vijay K. Shah, are part of a project awarded $1.7 million by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA) Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund.

Artificial intelligence systems only produce outcomes as good as the data sets they rely on. Unfortunately, these data sets are often not adequately representative.

Missy 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.

Researchers from the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative take on projects that expand the contributions of social scientists to cyber security challenges through funding of multidisciplinary projects.

Using 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.

Last fall, faculty teams were invited to submit proposals describing thematic hiring opportunities. The decision committee evaluated 14 proposals for innovation and timeliness, alignment with Mason strengths, recruiting plans and hiring strategies.

Researchers from George Mason University, Virginia Tech, and Old Dominion University collaborate on a $1 million funded research project by the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative to improve AI in autonomous cars.
