AI and machine learning

The rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence, or AI, and machine learning encompasses a variety of applications in electrical engineering. Electrical and computer engineers also design the backbone of AI and machine learning: Programs and algorithms run on semiconductor chips designed by electrical and computer engineers for software needs.

In addition to researching how to make better AI chips, electrical engineering faculty in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University are investigating how to harness AI and machine learning to speed up microelectronics design processes, ensure the smooth function of communications technology, provide cybersecurity for power grid systems and more.
