As Pennsylvania’s land-grant (and sea-, sun-, and space-grant) institution, Penn State has always emphasized the "practical or theoretical aspects" of our work. Now that artificial intelligence (AI) is seemingly everywhere, our university is demonstrating what our historical land-grant status means in the AI space.  Funded by Penn State’s Office of the Senior Vice President for Research via the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences, the AI Hub is a forum for promoting these activities and inform multiple audiences.  The hope is that someday the AI Hub will be able to make the same claim as the Millennium Café: That many collaborations have been catalyzed by the Hub due to a diverse audience and the fact that work is presented in a manner allowing many folks to take something away.  (So far, we haven’t figured out how to replicate the good coffee.)
