Creating What's Next with AI

With generous support from the Clarence V. LaGuardia Foundation, CU Denver has opened a new AI Hub where students across disciplines can explore emerging technology, collaborate, and develop skills for an AI-enabled world. This innovative space is creating opportunities for hands-on learning and preparing students to navigate the future of artificial intelligence.
