Exploring, understanding, and shaping GenAI

Generative AI demands a multidisciplinary focus. As AI rapidly grows across industries, this emerging field necessitates novel frameworks, applications, and ethical guidelines for implementation and utilization. The establishment of the Generative AI Center at UC Santa Cruz aims to address these challenges by creating a collaborative hub for exploring, understanding, and shaping this evolving field.

We are committed to advancing AI through bold and socially responsible innovation.
