Grant from Pivotal Ventures allows Northeastern’s CIC to expand AI and computing education nationally
Northeastern University’s Center for Inclusive Computing (CIC) is part of a $150 million commitment from Pivotal, Melinda French Gates’ organization. The funding is aimed at addressing the workforce demand for more technical talent in artificial intelligence. Specifically, the investment will expand the CIC’s capacity to work with partner schools on the development of AI tracks within undergraduate computing degrees, and create pathways for non-computing majors to pursue master’s degrees in AI.
