The Department will be integrating AI skills and tools into our undergraduate major, professional SLP and AuD programs, and the PhD program.
Faculty will also have the opportunity to join an active community of researchers whose scholarship focuses on AI development and applications across a wide variety of disciplines. Ohio State’s Translational Data Analytics Institute (TDAI) brings together some 250 Ohio State faculty and students with industry and community partners to create interdisciplinary, data-intensive solutions to grand challenges. Communities of practice within TDAI include groups focused on Life and Health Sciences and Social Sciences.
