How We Will Achieve Our Vision
SJSU has contributed a great deal over its long history to Silicon Valley, both as an institution that helps provide cutting-edge talent and as a place of ethical, inclusive and responsible discovery. As a public university and a Silicon Valley anchor institution, SJSU benefits from a wide range of collaborative expertise. Many SJSU faculty researchers are actively applying their expertise directly in the AI/ML field for the advancement of technology in fields such as health care and education, with due consideration of the social impact and ethical implications involved. This research includes federally-funded AI/ML curricular programs as well as philanthropically-supported workforce development programs with partners such as IBM, Adobe, and many others.
The rapid adaptation of AI/ML and robotics promises to impact workforce development, scientific advancement, scholarship, and society in ways previously unimagined. To thrive in this revolution, SJSU will align our collective efforts to advance the intellectual energy of our students, faculty, and staff and create opportunities afforded by these emerging technologies to:
- Meet the intellectual needs of our global ecosystem, including workforce demands for AI/ML-prepared graduates.
- Embrace mindsets and practices that adapt to the implications of evolving technologies to us as individuals, community, and society including:
- Address unprecedented issues prompted by AI/ML in policy, regulation and legal structures.
- Steward the preservation of intellectual property and creative works.
- Reduce the risk of bias and inequities.
- Encourage creative thinking and intergenerational adaptability.
- Steward the holistic success of a diverse student body, faculty, staff, and the general public as we proactively fulfill the needs of tomorrow in everything we do.
