At USC, we are pioneering breakthroughs in a full spectrum of topics related to AI, including machine learning, human-robot interaction, information extraction, and privacy protection.  Our researchers are working in areas where AI has been studied for decades—like language—and where the tools are just starting to make inroads—such as efforts to combat human trafficking, conserve endangered wildlife, and diagnose and treat diseases, including Alzheimer’s.

We understand that the long-term goal of building intelligent machines relies on collaboration across many fields.  That’s why we also work closely with researchers across application domains, such as healthcare, social work, and linguistics.
