OVERVIEW
Led by The Ohio State University, the U.S. National Science Foundation funded AI institute for Intelligent Cyberinfrastructure with Computational Learning in the Environment (ICICLE) will build the next generation of Cyberinfrastructure to render Artificial Intelligence (AI) more accessible to everyone and drive its further democratization in the larger society.
The widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) fueling advances in science, education, and commerce has been driven not only by the ability to aggregate data from a wide range of sources, but also by the availability of increasingly powerful Cyberinfrastructure (CI) supporting AI advances. As CI becomes more complex and heterogeneous, end users of the technology face a bewildering set of choices in applying AI to leverage insightful analytics, modeling complex systems, or enabling automation.
Michelle Miller is a part of the food systems team based
on the Madison campus. She works with Song Gao in Geography and Alfonso Morales in Planning and Landscape Architecture. Song is leading national scale. Michelle has regional scale and am currently looking at AI for small scale food logistics and analysis of the USDA program Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure program.
Mission Statement
As a national infrastructure that enables artificial intelligence at the flick of a switch, NSF ICICLE will transform today’s AI landscape from a narrow set of privileged disciplines to one where democratized AI empowers domains broadly through integrated plug-and-play AI. Converging under one virtual roof, NSF ICICLE will foster interdisciplinary communities, advance foundational AI and CI, and transform application domains. Through its innovative approach to training and technology transfer, NSF ICICLE will develop an AI-enabled workforce and support innovative companies with a commitment to broad participation and opportunity at all levels. Ultimately, NSF ICICLE will enable a transparent and trustworthy national infrastructure for an AI-enabled future to address pressing societal problems and enable decision-making for national priorities.
