Opening today and representing an investment of $10 million in seed funding, the University of Southern California is launching a new Center for Generative AI and Society to research and explore the impact of artificial intelligence on education, media and society.
“USC is uniquely positioned to understand and influence how this emerging technology is changing the ways we live, work and play,” said USC president Carol Folt. “Our 22 schools are longstanding leaders in fields like the creative arts, media, health, education, engineering and business. Working across disciplines, USC will vigorously explore the intersection of ethics and the use and evolution of Generative AI.”
The Center will be led by co-directors Holly Willis, a professor and chair of the media arts and practice divisions at the USC School of Cinematic Arts; and Bill Swartout, a computer science research professor at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and Cto for USC Viterbi’s Institute for Creative Technologies.
