Part of a wider research picture

The Iowa State profile covers other uses of AI in scientific discovery. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences’ Trusted Innovation in AI initiative spans AI methods, scientific applications, and human and ethical questions. In agriculture, AIIRA models plants and fields to study crop improvement and production.

These programs address different research problems. They illustrate the range of university activity without establishing results for AI use across all Iowa industries.
