Supporting innovation culture on campus in the age of artificial intelligence
Moving research beyond publication and into the real world where it can improve our daily lives is a growing priority for the University of Delaware.
Academic discoveries, however, traditionally have taken years to decades to move from research laboratory to market product.
This pace is no longer prudent, according to Patrick Callahan, founder and CEO of Keel3, an organization that helps institutions implement artificial intelligence (AI).
AI is rapidly transforming our world. Work that used to require months now takes hours.
We must adapt - quickly.
"When AI compresses every step, the rate-limiting factor stops being the science," said Callahan, during a keynote address at the UD Accelerating Research Translation (ART) Symposium held at UD's Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus on April 27. The event was sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Accelerating Research Translation Program in partnership with the UD Institute for Engineering Driven Health. "It comes down to how quickly two people can decide to trust each other to build something together."
