AI and machine learning are central to how the world does business and how humans understand the world.

At the Center for Applied AI, we believe that the future of AI will depend on a combination of AI with people, markets, and society. It is our goal to leverage Booth's expertise in quantitative analysis and social science to become the leader in AI as applied to business and society.
