Bai will lead the development and integration of the grant project “CAP: INSPIRE — Inclusive Strategies for Promoting AI Research and Education, Empowering Underrepresented Students and Faculty.”

“Overall, the AI Hub will be a dynamic ecosystem that nurtures AI talent, fosters interdisciplinary learning, and establishes CSUF as a leader in inclusive AI education and innovation,” Bai said.

Bai, whose research interests include AI — machines that think like humans — from unmanned robots to improving academic performance in STEM and machine learning, said that the project will advance the growth and development of underrepresented students in AI fields.
