The Hub Model

Where the Cornell community converges to experiment with Generative AI — building agents and applications that boost efficiency and support the institutional mission.

Imagine a space where researchers, students, faculty, and staff leave their silos to collaborate.

A space where we don't just talk about the future of AI — we build it to solve our own internal challenges.

This is the AI Innovation Hub.

Our Unique Approach: Technology + People

Technology alone doesn't drive innovation. Real transformation comes from pairing advanced tools with human skill and organizational strategy.

Pairing IT with HR

We work with HR organizational-design and upskilling teams, preparing the workforce rather than just deploying software.

Collaborating with Research

We partner with researchers to study how tools change work patterns, using evidence-based insights.

Prioritizing Active Learning

The Lab offers hands-on upskilling: participants join a team, tackle a real problem, and build a solution — learning by doing.

Our Strategic Focus

Building a secure, equitable AI platform that leverages large language models toward three goals.

Enhance Administration & Operations

Building AI agents to streamline workflows for teams like Facilities, Finance, and Student Advising.

Accelerate Scientific Discovery

Collaborating with faculty on ways AI can speed the research lifecycle, including simulations and pattern discovery.

Transform the Student Experience

Partnering with the Center for Teaching Innovation to personalize and enhance learning.
