At Carnegie Mellon University — one of the places where artificial intelligence was invented — we’ve had a front row seat for the development of AI technologies that have changed how we live. From self-driving cars and smart home devices to robots and electronic assistants like Alexa and Siri, we’ve had a hand in all of it. And we know this is only the tip of the iceberg. We believe we have an obligation to study and create new frontiers in AI, and we take that obligation seriously.

To that end, we created the JPMorgan Chase & Co. AI Maker Space. The 1,900-square-foot facility, which opened in the fall of 2021, resides in one of the newest, largest buildings on CMU’s campus — also home to the Tepper School of Business and the Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship. Unlike traditional maker spaces, which focus on building hardware, the AI maker space will concentrate on software development. The space will house state-of-the-art hardware available to students, who will also have access to associated software packages and massive datasets to pursue independent research and complete projects.

Relive Our Grand Opening

The JPMorgan Chase & Co. AI Maker Space hosted a grand opening event in November 2021. In fitting fashion, a robot cut the ceremonial ribbon. Check out highlights from the event in the video below.
