The WashU Institute for School Partnership has received a grant to explore how artificial intelligence can enhance the efficiency, reach and quality of instructional coaching while preserving human expertise and teacher agency. 

A tool developed by WashU Medicine researchers can accurately distinguish among several major neurodegenerative diseases — including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, frontotemporal dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies — as well as detect when these conditions overlap, potentially improving early diagnosis, monitoring and treatment.

As editor-in-chief of Organization Science, WashU Olin Business School’s Lamar Pierce is sounding the alarm about the increasing strain on the peer review system caused by artificial intelligence and university incentives.

WashU McKelvey Engineering researchers have mapped out how to create artificial intelligence machines for solving problems with potentially trillions of complicating factors.

Aaron Lee, MD, a nationally acclaimed vitreoretinal surgeon and leader in applying artificial intelligence to vision research and patient care, has been named the inaugural Arthur W. Stickle Distinguished Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at WashU Medicine.

A grant of nearly $800,000 will fund the development of an “AI Scientist” system aimed at improving biomedical research efficiency, with an initial focus on neurodegenerative disease.

The school is offering $10,000 scholarships to support affected professionals enrolled in the new AI for Business master’s program, while new corporate development offerings help organizations redesign work and reskill teams.

WashU cybersecurity expert Ning Zhang explains the growing capabilities of machine learning models such as Mythos and their threat to internet infrastructure and security.

A new adaptive model created at WashU improves surgical predictions across evolving patient populations.

WashU is launching a new universitywide initiative called +AI. The initiative aims to transform teaching and learning and accelerate research while also acknowledging the challenges AI will create.
