Artificial Intelligence

Faculty across the College of Education and Human Development, working with University Libraries, are exploring AI-powered ways to bridge the gap between research and practice in education.

In the College of Public Health, researchers are embracing AI’s potential while also interrogating it, testing it, and redesigning it to work better for real people. Faculty are building AI tools to detect cancer earlier, support dementia patients, guide students through biostatistics, document evidence of violence, and flag burnout in caregivers—targeting some of public health’s toughest challenges.

Research Interests: Human-robot interaction, end-user development, AI planning, interaction design

George Mason University’s Ciao Lab, led by Assistant Professor Ningshi Yao from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, successfully launched the Airborne Robotics Cup (ARCup) in Gaithersburg, Maryland on August 17, 2025.

Holly Matto, addiction science researcher, and College of Science and School of Engineering colleagues provide breakthrough findings about personalized recovery cues and technology-based substance use interventions.

Artificial intelligence brings new opportunities to the healthcare space, but what happens when it gets it wrong? One computer science PhD student is addressing this question and making a change.

George Mason researchers discovered a way that a hacker can make scary changes to an AI system with a change to just one of billions of bits.

Two George Mason alums and one student led by Kristof Ladny provided professional insights into how generative AI can help solve large-scale problems.

Through hands-on exploration of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, students in the ACCESS Academy AI Summer Camp can imagine and begin preparing for technology-sector careers.
