Stevens AI 'GURU' Advances in IBM Watson Competition
College of Arts and Letters Dean Kelland Thomas is spearheading a project involving researchers from 17 universities to design a creative, collaborative AI that might one day compete with the likes of Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa. The team's effort has advanced to the third round of the IBM Watson AI XPRIZE, a four-year competition.
