Howard University Leaps Into AI | Washington DC News

Howard University is launching a bold AI initiative this fall, offering a new degree-granting certificate in fundamentals of AI — think of it as a half-minor open to all students — to prep them for an AI-driven future. Beyond that, they’re expanding graduate offerings with hands-on courses on AI tools and technologies, plus a groundbreaking class on ethical and responsible AI governance across sectors. Students are already innovating, building custom LLMs using voice data from Black communities to better capture linguistic diversity. Howard’s move signals a serious commitment to equipping the next generation to lead in AI’s rapidly evolving landscape.
