A private research university in Texas announced a partnership with Dell to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence on campus and implement an AI system that keeps critical data in-house. The partnership, called AI², is one of TCU’s largest-ever research and technology commitments. AI² will enrich the student learning experience and career preparation by expanding responsible AI usage across campus, TCU said. “AI is considered to be the fifth industrial stage in the world,” Reuben Burch, TCU’s vice provost for research, told the Star-Telegram. “There was fire and steel and now there’s AI. It’s on us that we need to include it for all faculty and students because there’s a world where they don’t use it, and they’re going to get left behind.”
