NEWARK, Del. - How will people and artificial intelligence get along in the future?
The University of Delaware is leading a collaboration to address such questions - using data. UD is headquarters of the National Science Foundation AI Institute for Human AI Cooperation. The five-year, $21.5-million project also involves Delaware State University, the University of Pennsylvania, Florida University and Princeton University.

At UD, AI's potential is encouraging in the field of health sciences. Physical Therapy Department Chair Darcy Reisman said artificial intelligence does one thing especially well: "it helps the clinician download tons and tons of information and relate it to other patients that looks like the patient that's sitting in front of them to identify potential treatments."
"With one in seven people in the United States living with movement-related difficulties, it's really important that just like if you have cancer and we personalize your intervention, it's the same thing with rehabilitation," Reisman added.
NSF HAIC Director Cathy Wu, Unidel Edward G. Jefferson Chair in Engineering and Computer Science, said it's about supporting human decision-making with AI: "where a human will be able to kind of provide the expertise, the kind of checks for the AI system to really facilitate in our case human health care in a very human-centric way."
"HAIC will create extraordinary opportunities for our students, providing a setting that connects engineering, artificial intelligence, research, and real-world applications," UD College of Engineering Dean Pam Norris said.
