The centre will mobilise the expertise of USC’s schools to explore themes across multiple industry sectors and professions
The University Of Southern California is going to launch a new centre for Generative AI and Society to explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on culture, education, media and society. The new $10 million centre will seed research, convene experts, and expand the university’s national leadership, with a special focus on the ethical use and innovation of generative AI.
A core group of leaders and faculty from the following USC schools will spring the university into an immersive exploration of generative AI, its benefits and its challenges: the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, the USC Rossier School of Education, the USC School of Cinematic Arts, the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy and the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.
The centre will mobilise the expertise of USC’s schools to explore themes across multiple industry sectors and professions, as well as support further research and the development of educational programmes. The centre’s realm of influence will span the disciplines of arts, media, education and beyond, with the potential to influence the economy, health care, law, medicine, policy and science.
