Artificial Intelligence

In two recent research projects, George Mason statistics professor Abolfazl Safikhani has applied machine learning tools to time series analysis of land use and real estate pricing to help decision-makers in urban planning and real estate.  

George Mason University officially opened its Mason Autonomy and Robotics Center, a collaborative space where students will perform research on a variety of emerging fields related to artificial intelligence and autonomous devices.

Research led by PhD doctoral candidate Kevin Cevasco suggests patient engagement with chatbots isn’t necessarily better than human interactions in improving health intervention uptake and adherence.

Civil engineering professor David Lattanzi teams up with colleagues in the College of Public Health to help build a new tool that will help clinicians identify bruises and injuries from domestic violence in a new way.

George Mason University today announced an anonymous $4.85 million gift to advance groundbreaking research on bruise and injury detection for individuals who experience interpersonal violence. The funding will help develop new tools in imaging technology using a light source that is five times better than white light for identifying and visualizing bruising across all skin tones for use by forensic nurses, social service providers, and law enforcement.

Xuan Wang, an assistant professor in George Mason University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, is trying to ensure safety in human-computer autonomous systems.

Mason's Department of Mechanical Engineering is offering a new certificate in responsible AI.

The College of Engineering and Computing at George Mason University introduces four innovative graduate certificate programs in fall 2024, catering to burgeoning fields of mechanical engineering, computer science, systems engineering and operations research, and electrical and computer engineering. Professors leading each program provide insights into the curricula design, societal impact, and ideal candidates.

Mason has joined more than 200 of the nation’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) stakeholders to participate in a Department of Commerce initiative to support the development and deployment of trustworthy and safe AI.

With his Minerva Project, Distinguished University Professor J.P. Singh wants to understand “how preferences or interests from society, business, or other government actors shape policy in terms of what countries are doing with their national AI infrastructures.”
