Artificial intelligence (AI) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is a university-wide capability integrated across academics, research, and student experience. Rather than existing as a single program, AI is embedded throughout aviation, aerospace, engineering, data science, cybersecurity, and teaching innovation.

Our focus is on applying intelligent systems to solve real-world challenges in complex, high-stakes environments like aviation safety, flight operations, autonomous systems, and engineering innovation.
