Lecture summary Representative examples of successful industry-academia collaboration in the United States include collaborations between Stanford University and Silicon Valley, MIT and the Boston-Cambridge Biotech Cluster, Carnegie Mellon University and the robotics industry, and the University of Michigan and the automotive industry. These collaborations were once the driving force behind global technological innovation. However, in recent years, the initiative for AI technology development and innovation has shifted to major tech companies, with universities taking on a complementary role in areas such as basic research and ethics and social implementation. In light of this change, this lecture introduces ongoing university-based startup creation efforts aimed at restoring the US's innovation engine, using the example of the Tandon School of Engineering at New York University, and consider new directions for modern industry-academia collaboration.
