USC Stevens School for Computing and Artificial Intelligence

USC Stevens School for Computing and Artificial Intelligence is the new USC school discussed in Centering humans in AI education might be key to innovation and research. The episode frames it as part of a $200 million university bet on embedding AI across campus.

The school is launching a new AI major and minors for non-STEM students who want to apply AI in fields such as history and art. Gaurav Sukhatme describes its curriculum as project-driven and quickly refreshable, while the episode keeps ethics central to the school rather than treating AI as only a technical skill stack.
