THERE’S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TO SHAPE THE FUTURE.

Developing interdisciplinary, human centered approaches to AI scholarship,
curricula and entrepreneurship.


OVERVIEW

The Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence at Colby is the first
cross-disciplinary institute for artificial intelligence (AI) at a liberal arts
college. The Institute facilitates interdisciplinary, human-centered scholarship
using rich datasets with real-world consequences and prepares students for a
future where AI is transforming industries, careers, and modes of discovery,
creativity, and scholarship. AI shapes all our lives; we should all be informed,
critical AI tool users and tool builders.
