The future of artificial intelligence may be moving closer to the present.
On Wednesday, the NYU Tandon School of Engineering will announce the launch of an accelerator-style program that will recruit five early-stage AI startups to the school's Varick Street Incubator. The city's first accelerator devoted to computer technology that imitates human intelligence, the AI NexusLab will connect the startups to the university's academic resources while providing the fledgling companies with the marketing and business expertise of a major venture capital firm.
