Advancing AI at Touro University

AI is the transformational technology for our time. Our goal is to help Touro University evolve into a thoroughly AI-enabled institution—in education, research, and all our operations. This process is not just about teaching and using AI but about preparing our graduates and our institution to accelerate innovation in a world increasingly reliant on intelligent technology.

Continuous learning and adaptation are the keys to ensuring students, faculty, and staff are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in this rapidly evolving landscape.
