Artificial Intelligence at UMBC
The UMBC has been at the forefront of AI research and development for four decades. It has a thriving AI ecosystem that continues to expand and evolve since the mid-1980s, when Dr. Sanjeev Ahuja pioneered the application of abductive reasoning to analyze discrete sequential processes.
UMBC’s commitment to AI excellence is embodied in the UMBC Center for AI, an interdisciplinary hub established in January 2023 to amplify the university’s decades-long leadership in artificial intelligence research, applications, and education.
UMBC AI Strategy
A task force charged by the Provost has submitted its report on how UMBC should engage artificial intelligence across research, education, operations, and service to the state. The report was developed between November 2025 and May 2026 through workgroups of faculty and staff from across the campus, coordinated by a steering committee.
Members of the UMBC community can subscribe to the UMBC AI Group to receive email about AI-related news and events.
