There is a growing group of RIT researchers working in a field broadly known as artificial intelligence, or AI. They are building increasingly complex algorithms—the rules that govern operating systems—so that machines can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.

Next-generation computing systems modeled after the human brain’s information processing capability and energy efficiency are becoming a reality through work by Dhireesha Kudithipudi.

Researchers in RIT’s Center for Human-Aware Intelligence believe their work could lead to breakthroughs in everything from health care to energy management to cybersecurity.
