This week CSAIL announced a gift from JPMorgan Chase that will enable important new breakthroughs in artificial intelligence research at MIT’s largest interdepartmental lab.
Starting in 2025, the “JPMC-CSAIL Research Awards for Junior AI Researchers” will be given out annually for 10 years to support tenure-track faculty members in their efforts to make advancements in the critical and rapidly evolving field of AI.
“We are so very grateful for JPMorganChase for this gift which will enable our junior faculty to pursue groundbreaking, cutting-edge work that has established our lab as a leader in AI and computing research,” says CSAIL director Daniela Rus, the Andrew (1956) and Erna Viterbi Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. “We are excited to see what will emerge from this generous contribution to our lab.”
Rus collaborated on the agreement with Manuela Veloso, the Head of J.P. Morgan AI Research and the Herbert A. Simon University Professor Emeritus in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.
“It is our great pleasure to be able to contribute to the research of junior faculty in Artificial Intelligence at the prestigious MIT CSAIL,” says Veloso. “We look forward to closely following the research of the awardees!”
