Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to become one of the most impactful forces of modern life. As AI continues to shape our society and change industries, Bar-Ilan University is at the cutting edge of this exciting field.
Artificial Intelligence has now moved from academic theory and research limited to organizations with access to massive computational resources to practical tools we use every day. Across the entire campus, Bar-Ilan students and faculty are creating new ways to use AI to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges.
From the Department of Computer Science to BIU’s Institute of Nanotechnology & Advanced Materials and the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine, AI is being applied across multiple fields of study with exciting results that will not only impact Israel, but around the globe.
- Bar-Ilan already offers 75 AI courses, including: prompt engineering, business intelligence, machine learning in medical information, and personalized AI applications.
- BIU is spearheading a six-year project to develop computational methods to use AI to analyze tens of thousands of medieval Hebrew manuscripts and fragments.
- Physicists from Bar-Ilan have engineered AI to increase confidence in the decisions of autonomous vehicles.
