Pace University is preparing a new artificial intelligence lab on its New York City campus to provide space for future research and education efforts for students as well as local businesses and community members.
The private university's new lab will serve as a “central hub” for AI-related training and provide collaborative research opportunities for faculty and students, according to a news release this month. It added that the lab's activities will focus on New York's technology community and the latest industry developments, and will also offer meetups and other networking opportunities for local professionals and students.
