College of Arts and Sciences launches BuckAI Observatory

To capitalize on the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence (AI) and The Ohio State University’s focus on becoming a national leader in the field, the College of Arts and Sciences has launched BuckAI Observatory, a new center of excellence dedicated to applied AI for earth and planetary observation.
Led by Joachim Moortgat, a professor in the School of Earth Sciences, BuckAI Observatory advances Ohio State’s leadership in artificial intelligence by integrating cutting-edge AI algorithms with remote-sensing science and other data rich-domains. The center’s mission includes driving research excellence, providing shared cyberinfrastructure and expertise, cultivating interdisciplinary collaboration, educating the next generation of researchers, and engaging the broader community through outreach and policy involvement.
