Paris Perdikaris, associate professor at Penn Engineering has developed Aurora, a foundation AI model that forecasts extreme weather and environmental events—faster and cheaper than traditional systems.

Penn Engineers have developed the first programmable chip that can train nonlinear neural networks using light — a breakthrough that could dramatically speed up AI training, reduce energy use and even pave the way for fully light-powered computers.

In its commitment to drive responsible innovation, Penn Engineering convenes an open dialogue in D.C. on the government-funded research and solutions for a safer AI-enabled world.
