Our mission is to harness Northwestern’s interdisciplinary strengths to advance responsible, high-impact, world-class research and education in data science and AI.
We envision redefining the future of collaborative intelligence by making Northwestern the global epicenter where human ingenuity and AI together solve society’s most urgent challenges.
By building on and enhancing our academic opportunities, we seek to develop a distinctly Northwestern curriculum that equips students in all fields with an AI-augmented toolkit — or the actionable knowledge that allows them to meaningfully leverage these powerful systems.
By uniting the strengths of Northwestern’s top schools with our dynamic partnerships beyond campus, we are advancing AI and data science from foundational discovery to domain-specific solutions that address global challenges.
Together with partners across STEM, the arts, and the humanities, we are shaping a resourced environment and collaborative ecosystem that bridges academia, industry, government, non-profits, and research labs.
