Artistic Intelligence: CMU Leads a New Renaissance
What Is CMU AI?
Artificial intelligence means many things to many people. But at Carnegie Mellon — the place where AI was invented more than half a century ago — we understand that we have an obligation to study and create new frontiers in AI. We don't take that obligation lightly.
CMU AI unites our interdisciplinary artificial intelligence research and education efforts to create an AI strategy for the planet. To pioneer ways to make AI safe. To create the human-centered operating system of autonomy. It establishes the critical mass of brilliant human minds, state-of-the-art research facilities and financial resources necessary to create technologies that will change the world for the better.
To learn more about our efforts, watch the video from our first all-hands CMU AI meeting in November.

Join Us
We're using AI to make the planet safer and healthier, but we can't do it without the best people and resources. You can help us.
Meet Our Leadership
- Human intervention is needed with AI systems to account for failure cases and to create systems that people desire and that will benefit them in daily life.
- With the great power of AI comes great responsibility: to develop it to benefit all humanity, and to understand and mitigate its risks. There’s no better place to work toward these goals than CMU.
I think we've only scratched the surface of what AI can do, and it's hard to predict where we'll be in 10 years. But everyone involved with CMU AI believes that it's important to continue making the world a better place through AI.
AI is a broad field that involves extremely disparate disciplines. It's difficult to have state-of-the art expertise in all of those aspects in one place. CMU AI accomplishes that.
CMU AI Is Everywhere
Our work — and that of our alums — reaches all corners of the globe. Here's just a snapshot of where you can find our work in the world.
