Instructional Technology has been working closely with the Faculty Development Center and faculty groups to understand how faculty, departments, and colleges want to engage with AI in their instructional activities.
Administrative AI & Productivity
We have several GenAI Tools that employees and students can utilize for administrative tasks.
Advanced AI Research & Computing
UMBC has a long history of faculty in Computer Science and Information Systems working on research that would be classified as artificial intelligence (AI), dating back to the mid-1980s. The UMBC Center for AI has more than 60 faculty members with research interests in AI and related areas, including robotics, machine learning, natural language understanding, data science, image processing, multi-agent systems, large language models, knowledge representation, as well as reasoning, planning, knowledge graphs, and neural networks.
UMBC has cloud computing contracts for Microsoft Azure (Open AI), Google Cloud (Gemini AI), and Amazon AWS Bedrock (Anthropic and Meta).
UMBC’s commitment to AI excellence is embodied in the UMBC Center for AI, an interdisciplinary hub established in 2023 to amplify the university’s decades-long leadership in artificial intelligence research, applications, and education.
