Launched in February this year, MIT generative AI Impact Consortium (MGAIC), MIT’s Innovation of Innovation and Strategy led by a President’s initiative and Mit Stephen A. A call for proposals administered by the Schwarzman College of Computing, issued a call, invited to invite researchers from MIT, studying the innovative AI model.
The call received 180 submissions from about 250 faculty members, in which all five of the MIT schools and college were spread. The huge response to the institute gives an example of increasing interest in AI and follows MIT’s generic AI week and calls for impact papers. Fifty -five proposals were selected for the inauguration seed grant of the Magic, several more selected, funded by the founding company members of the consortium.
More than 30 funding recipients submitted their proposals to the Greater MIT community at a kickoff event on 13 May. Anant p. Chandrakasan, Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer and Dean of the School of Engineering, who are head of the Consortium, welcomed the attendees and thanked the members of the Consortium’s founding industry.
Chandrakasana said, “The amazing response to our calls for proposals is an incredible will for energy and creativity that MGAIC has sparked in MIT. We are particularly grateful to our founding members, whose support and vision helped bring this effort to life,” says Chandrakasan. “One of the most notable things about MGAIC is that it is actually a cross-institute initiative. Dean from all five schools and college collaborated to shape and implement it.”
