CFA Working Group on Artificial Intelligence
The College of Fine Arts shares with all schools and colleges at Carnegie Mellon University in advancing efforts related to artificial intelligence research, practice and development so that our world will benefit from these improvements. CFA faculty, students and staff are dedicated to AI research and creative practice within our five schools and three associated programs.
The arts, architecture and design influence AI in different and striking ways, and our ongoing research will continue to change our region, our nation and our planet. Through our work, we seek to discover the next level of visual perception, face and speech recognition, and cybersecurity — among other developing technologies — working with colleagues inside CFA and across disciplines at CMU.

AIxArts Incubator Fund
The AI and the Arts Incubator Fund seeds new collaborative partnerships that strengthen, broaden and diversify innovation and experimentation at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the arts.
AI Up-skilling Fund
Artificial intelligence has rapidly changed the landscape of teaching, creative practice and research. In recognition of the impact of these new technologies, Dean Poole has created the College of Fine Arts Up-skilling Fund for AI.
University Resources
In addition to coordinating the creation of the CFA Up-skilling Fund for AI, the AI Working Group has identified university resources that may help faculty and staff as they continue to explore the growing capabilities of AI.
