Morgan State awarded $9M to advance AI, cybersecurity and machine learning research

The Office of Naval Research awarded Morgan State University a five-year, $9 million grant to address a critical Department of Defense (DoD) need for research in building diverse knowledge bases related to artificial intelligence and machine learning, especially with respect to cybersecurity. The resources will be administered through Morgan’s Division of Research and Economic Development (D-RED) to fund collaborative research conducted by the newly launched Center for Equitable Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Systems (CEAMLS) and the Cybersecurity Assurance & Policy Center. The centers will study the development of formal standards and best practices to test and design new AI and ML innovations that mitigate algorithmic bias.
