SDSC at UC San Diego and CENIC Work to Expand AI Education Infrastructure in California

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego and the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) have developed a prescient AI education infrastructure called CENIC AI Resource (CENIC AIR) for K-12 education, public libraries, community colleges, the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC) campus systems.

“Artificial intelligence and machine learning present new career possibilities for today’s students. These next-generation academics and innovators will be able to move more seamlessly through and between the different segments of public education. CENIC AIR was devised in anticipation of the impacts these future leaders will have on society, and we are passionate about being a key part of it,” said Frank Würthwein, director of the San Diego Supercomputer Center.

UC San Diego’s GAIA Initiative Promises Transformation of Atmospheric and Climate Research

The realization that predictive climate research could be transformed by networked compute and data resources led to a breathtaking variety of research institutes in California. The next step is to accelerate this transformation by coordinating the institutes themselves so that they can each act as force multipliers for one another and for atmospheric, ocean, and climate research as a whole. That is the purpose of UC San Diego’s GAIA Initiative.
