Leading the Future of AI with Purpose, Precision, and Innovation 〰️

The Michigan NextGen AI Council is driving forward a new era of ethical, impact-driven AI innovation. We conduct research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community-centered approaches to solving some of the most pressing challenges in AI deployment and development. By connecting students, professionals, and academic leaders, we foster an ecosystem where the next generation can shape not only how AI is used—but why, where, and for whom it’s created.
