ECC AI Initiative

Under the direction of President Dr. Augustine A. Boakye, the ECC AI Initiative was launched to establish a cohesive structure for all AI-related discussions and projects at ECC.

The ECC AI Initiative aims to integrate artificial intelligence into the College’s academic and operational framework—advancing curriculum development, faculty and staff training, research, and administrative innovation. Our goal is to position ECC as a key contributor to the AI ecosystem by promoting ethical AI integration and workforce development.

This initiative aligns with the strategic vision of the New Jersey Artificial Intelligence (NJAI) Hub, a partnership between Governor Phil Murphy, Princeton University, and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA).
