The NJ AI Hub, announced last winter by Governor Phil Murphy and Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber, has now added two founding partners: Microsoft and CoreWeave. Murphy and Eisgruber announced the news in a press release today.
“As the AI industry rapidly evolves, it’s imperative that we capitalize on this moment in New Jersey,” said Governor Murphy in the release. “I’m incredibly proud of this partnership with the top leaders in the industry and higher education, which further establishes our state as a hub for cutting-edge AI innovation and talent.”
The state and the University convened more than 600 leaders from academia, business and government last April for the NJ AI Summit to begin charting a course for New Jersey’s role in the future of artificial intelligence. Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith gave the keynote address. CoreWeave Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Brian Venturo was a featured speaker.
