The state's AI Task Force, preparing for potential legislation to submit to the General Assembly next month, received a report from the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering on Wednesday indicating that even though artificial intelligence is still in its infancy, higher education institutions will likely need a centralized, high-powered computer center, which will require financial support from state government. "It's definitely a common thing, I think, as we've been meeting with researchers and people around the state, the need for the compute power, the high-performance computing centers, that is something we need to look into," said state Sen. James Maroney, co-chairman of the task force.
