Mizzou AERI will be a hub for interdisciplinary and responsible artificial intelligence, uniting expertise across fields to advance innovation that benefits people and society.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming research, industry and workforce needs across nearly every sector of society. To position the university for leadership in this evolving landscape, the University of Missouri is launching the Mizzou AI Education, Research and Infrastructure Center (AERI), a new interdisciplinary initiative jointly established by the College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Science, and the Division of Information Technology to connect AI expertise, computing infrastructure and applied research across campus.
AERI will serve as a collaborative foundation for broader university-wide engagement in AI research, education and innovation. The center will help build the computational infrastructure and interdisciplinary partnerships needed to support AI-driven research across domains, including the use of large and complex datasets to improve analysis, modeling and decision-making.
