1,000 Day Plan
Al for All
This initiative serves as a unifying force across the other four research areas, amplifying their impact. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies serves to optimize renewable energy systems in Resilient Habitats, enhance the Cognitive Cyber Nexus by integrating AI with human cognition, and drive personalized diagnostics and treatment in health care. SSE is advancing foundational AI research while also applying AI to solve real-world problems across disciplines.
AI is rapidly transforming every field, and the School of Science and Engineering recognizes that AI literacy is essential for every Tulane student. To prepare students for the future, the immediate goal is to develop an introductory AI literacy course accessible to students from all majors, providing that students from diverse disciplines understand fundamental AI concepts and their applications, from the arts to healthcare.
A comprehensive AI minor is also being designed, providing core courses in machine learning, AI applications, and ethics, with electives for specialization. Additionally, SSE is partnering with industry leaders to offer workshops, seminars, and internships, giving students real-world, hands-on experience. Campus-wide AI events such as hackathons and guest lectures continue to encourage crossdisciplinary collaboration and innovation.
