USC Meta Center for Research and Education in AI & Learning

A joint effort by the The USC Viterbi School of Engineering and Meta, the REAL@USC-Meta Center tackles the scaling and sustainability aspects of AI/ML systems as these technologies are deployed for solving planetary-scale challenges. To this end, the Center aims to advance the understanding of how AI algorithms interact with hardware, and to use this understanding in the design of energy efficient and open-source AI/ML systems of the future. Alongside open-source technology initiatives, the center will include initiatives to advance AI education equitably into the future.

Producing consequential research will be coupled with rigorous educational training. The center, leveraging the research strength of the Electrical & Computer Engineering and Industrial & Systems Engineering departments, will train a new generation of students who understand both the technical and the societal impacts of this important and pervasive new technology.

Center Focus
  • Designing AI systems of the future in close collaboration with industry and other research partners
  • Teaching of foundations for AI systems and scaling aspects
