The launch of the Artificial Intelligence Integration Center allows the Army to better connect with the broader artificial intelligence community and focus their efforts in this dynamic field. As part of Army Futures Command, the AI Integration Center will leverage the AI Hub and engage universities and companies from across the nation by building upon initial successes at Carnegie Mellon University and the vibrant robotics and AI communities in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Austin, Texas.
