Cognition, Computation, and Intelligent Systems

UGA's Institute for Artificial Intelligence is an interdepartmental research and instructional unit jointly supported by the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost and the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. Its mission is to advance the science of Artificial Intelligence (AI), serve as a resource of extensive AI expertise for all, and facilitate profound societal impact through AI use cases in all disciplines.

The University of Georgia views AI as an interdisciplinary field where computing meets philosophy, cognition and psychology, linguistics, engineering, and other disciplines. The Institute offers three-degree programs involving AI and Cognitive Science:

Both AI and Cognitive Science are devoted to the study of cognition and intelligent systems. AI is particularly focused on creating computer systems that behave intelligently.

In addition to the above degree programs, the Institute participates in two combined undergraduate/graduate programs, allowing a student to earn within 5 years either an AB in Cognitive science or a BS in Computer science as well as MS in Artificial Intelligence.

Affiliated with the Institute are over 70 UGA faculty from colleges across campus with interests in AI. We pride ourselves on the diversity of our student body and the affiliated faculty, and the ability of our programs to allow for the pursuit of diverse research interests related to AI. We engage in various research and instructional activities to empower and foster collaboration among our affiliated faculty, graduate and undergraduate students.
