Provide more than 45,000 students with a better experience of the campus: that was the result of the Concierge project, headed by Prof. Sciuto, which helped students navigate through the large amount of information available.

Celebrating diverse talent in the field of AI and creating a culture of inclusion are important as the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women in the workplace becomes more apparent. IBM created the annual Women Leaders in AI program in 2019 to help encourage increased diverse participation in the field and provide honourees a network for shared learning.
