University of Wisconsin-Madison: The future is now: College of Computing & Artificial Intelligence officially launches

Today, July 1, the University of Wisconsin–Madison officially launched the College of Computing & Artificial Intelligence (CAI), its first new school or college in more than 40 years. CAI positions UW–Madison to advance research, education, public engagement and thought leadership around computing and artificial intelligence.

CAI’s origins are rooted in the School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences (CDIS), which was created within the College of Letters & Science in 2019 and brought together the Information School and departments of Computer Sciences and Statistics. These three units now make up the new college.

The new college will allow UW–Madison to leverage its strengths across disciplines — from social sciences, arts and humanities to health and data science — to explore and inform the many ways in which AI is transforming society.
