Artificial Intelligence
At Yale Engineering, researchers are leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to a wide range of applications that promise to make this technology a force for good. From healthcare and drug discovery to legal analysis and cultural preservation, Yale Engineering researchers are pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and leveraging AI to improve lives around the world.
In the medical field, we’re using it to give health care professionals the tools they need to quickly interpret radiology reports, alleviating gridlock and allowing for more patients to be treated in a timely fashion. AI is also being used to identify the molecules that drive neurodegenerative diseases and ways to target them with drugs.
In a collaboration with the Law School, Engineering researchers have created an AI-powered “lawbot” that can review and parse zoning laws, tax provisions, and other intricate legal codes much faster than human lawyers. It’s also being used to digitally restore lost civilizations, like Dura-Europos in present-day Syria by creating 3D reconstructions of the city and making existing research more accessible.
Our roboticists are leveraging AI in numerous ways, including to help robots reason and learn from their surroundings to quickly develop the skills to navigate new environments on their own.
These are just some of the diverse ways that Yale Engineering researchers are using AI’s vast potential to address complex challenges across multiple disciplines.
