Dearborn Artificial Intelligence Research (DAIR) Center

The DAIR Center consists of affiliated faculty and other stakeholders on campus and regionally. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with industry partners, scholars, and practitioners from other institutions. Our goal is to foster synergy between engineering and science faculty engaged in AI research, non-technical faculty with expertise in AI application areas, industry stakeholders, and the next generation of AI experts in training.

Our Goals & Mission

At DAIR, we strive to advance AI research and its applications, becoming a collaborative hub for large-scale projects with academics, practitioners, and business leaders. We focus on integrating AI research with educational activities and enhancing team efforts in core and applied AI. 

Our mission is to train the next generation of AI scholars, translating research into societal and industry benefits. We foster a cooperative, interdisciplinary environment, encouraging faculty across departments to collaborate on innovative, sponsored projects.

Your involvement can take many forms, including:

• Industry: We can arrange for you to present in our seminar series or otherwise arrange a meeting with faculty engaged in AI research to discuss your interests. 
• Faculty: toward project brainstorming and proposal development, both faculty currently engaged in AI research and others with expertise in domains with a potential AI application are welcome. 
• Visiting scholars: we can facilitate connecting you with potential faculty hosts/advisers. 
• Students: we can connect you to faculty, learning resources, and other activities such as workshops and student clubs. Student leaders can also get involved by running workshops and forming clubs.
