I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Gerry Dozier, the Charles D. McCrary Eminent Chair Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, is championing artificial intelligence (AI) as a force for community and innovation.<\/p>\n
Known for dedication to collaboration, Dozier has built bridges across disciplines to advance AI research and education.<\/p>\n
As director of the Auburn University Center for AI & Cybersecurity Engineering, he helps drive the Auburn University Subject Matter Experts (AUSME) platform \u2014 an AI-powered tool connecting researchers.<\/p>\n
\u201cAUSME makes it easier for faculty and students to find collaborators with the right expertise, breaking down silos and sparking innovation that benefits the entire university community,\u201d said Dozier, a member of Alabama\u2019s Commission on AI and Associated Technologies since 2019.<\/p>\n
While advancing AI frontiers, Dozier is focused on creating opportunities that inspire students to engage with this ever-evolving technology.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdvancing AI means more than technology \u2014 it\u2019s about supporting students to succeed and lead in this rapidly evolving landscape,\u201d he said. \u201cProviding access and resources is essential to helping them reach their full potential. We are committed to preparing students and faculty not to just use AI, but to shape its future responsibly and ethically.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
