A historic $200-million USC gift from Nvidia board member aims to transform AI education
"USC is positioned to compete by applying the technology across fields where the university already has strengths. It's that intersection between AI and these other fields that we think is a perfect fit for USC."
"The goal is for the money to help the university use AI for positive societal impact. The university is seeking scholars who can use AI to accelerate work in medicine, cybersecurity, national security, business, entertainment and other fields."
USC has secured a $200 million donation from Mark and Mary Stevens to expand artificial intelligence initiatives across the campus. This funding will rename the School of Advanced Computing to the USC Mark and Mary Stevens School of Computing and Artificial Intelligence. The donation aims to position USC as a national center for AI scholarship across various disciplines. President Beong-Soo Kim emphasized the importance of integrating AI into existing strengths at USC to create a positive societal impact and attract top talent in multiple fields.
