The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, launched in 2019-20, has become a pivotal hub for integrating advanced computing and AI across all areas of study at MIT. The college aims to keep MIT at the forefront of computer science, AI research, and education while infusing computing into various disciplines. It has already hired two-thirds of its planned 50 new faculty members, with half holding shared appointments across MIT’s five schools. This interdisciplinary approach addresses the growing demand for computing skills, evidenced by nearly half of MIT undergraduates majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). The college has introduced over a dozen new courses that blend computing with other fields, responding to the overwhelming student interest in advanced computing tools. Moreover, graduate-level classes on deep learning and machine vision attract over 500 students each, highlighting the significant appetite for AI education. The college also engages in policy discussions, presenting briefs to Congress and the White House on AI ethics and regulation, ensuring MIT’s influence extends beyond academia into policy-making arenas.
