Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become deeply embedded in the fabric of our society, influencing everything from everyday tasks to complex business operations. As a team of interdisciplinary researchers and students, we are committed to understanding and advancing the field of AI. Our mission is threefold: to research the development of AI technologies, to facilitate the seamless integration of AI into various business functions, and to assess the broader societal impacts of AI innovations. By doing so, we aim to empower the next generation of students with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in an AI-driven world and to ensure our university remains at the forefront of cutting-edge AI research and education. Through collaboration across different fields, we strive to address the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, ultimately contributing to a future where these technologies are used responsibly and effectively to benefit all members of our society.

Our research has been partially supported by a seed grant from the AI Tennessee Initiative at the University of Tennessee Knoxville.
