No. CS and AI are very different.

Explain this. Should college students become AI majors and not CS majors anymore?

AWS is fielding a lot of research and partnerships with academia.

This is not an undergraduate college ranking. But if you're looking for schools with excellent AI research, these are widely known to be at the top of the pack.

It's good to see private industry helping to fund academic research, especially given the uncertainty of government funding right now.

lol. No, it's not lost. He used Amazon to rank the Best AI programs in the country. It's a very narrow item and Complete BS and is no indication as to the programs to be "at the top of the pack" as you describe it.

We aren't disagreeing. Lol right back!

Carnegie Mellon is known to have the strongest AI research group in the country.

Several of the others on the list of 9 are also top programs for AI research.


Agree about not using US News.

AI is a part of CS just like statistics is a part of math.

Follow the major players and where they recruit from...OpenAI, X/Grok, MS/Gemini.

I have a CS major that's a junior at UMD. He dismissed the education of an UNDERGRADUATE in AI. Paraphrasing, anyone worth a damn in AI probably has a doctorate.

Amazon is announcing its new AI PhD Fellowship program, which will provide two years of funding for more than 100 PhD students at nine universities who are pursuing research on core AI disciplines such as machine learning, computer vision, and natural-language processing.

These are the best AI schools in the country:
MIT
Stanford
CMU
UCB
UIUC
UT
UCLA
UW
JHU

What about for undergrad?

Can't help but noticing UCSD #5, where a large portion of student body can't pass 8th grade math.
This is clearly a ranking of published paper by faculty members. It has nothing to do with undergrad education.

you dumb? JHU is renowned for Machine Learning and Cybersecurity

The latter can be learned via Univ of Maryland Global Campus

So, is it knows as India Institute of Tech of America (IITA)?

Dumb question, how come Harvard never comes up on these lists? Is it because they aren't involved in this particular field?

Harvard appears to have ceded national prominence in tech fields such as general computer science, the computer science subfield of AI and engineering to nearby MIT. For Ivies notably strong in one or more of these fields, consider Cornell, Columbia and Princeton.

What's at Brown, Dartmouth and Yale?
