Mission Statement
The AI & Big Data iRDA group is committed to advancing high-impact interdisciplinary research with a focus on Responsible Artificial Intelligence (Responsible AI). We develop and deploy AI systems that are safe, trustworthy, human-centered, and ethical. As AI becomes increasingly integral to decision-making across diverse systems, our mission is to address critical challenges related to reliability, safety, transparency, equity and fairness. We recognize AI & Big Data as essential to modern scientific inquiry and support research and applications across a wide range of domains, including bioinformatics, translational clinical research, transportation, astronomy, public health, and mechanical and civil engineering.
The AI & Big Data group will complement and align with existing research centers and academic departments at UNLV such as the UNLV Transportation Research Center, NIPM, UNLV Medicine, Public Health, Integrated Health Sciences, and Neuroscience. The AI & Big Data group will collaborate with other iRDA groups, including Sustainability in Arid Lands, Racial Equity and Social Justice, Aging and Brain Health, Addictions, and MSI, all of which rely on data analysis and AI systems.
