Artificial Intelligence Research Institute

The Artificial Intelligence Research Institute aims at pioneering original fundamental theories in future artificial intelligence, fully leveraging the leading role of next-generation AI in industrial upgrading. Building on Shenzhen's industrial advantages and policy support, it ultimately seeks breakthroughs in key technologies and original achievements. The institute is committed to establishing a new highland for scientific research and talent cultivation with distinctive features and influence, actively promoting interdisciplinary integration across broad fields and deep fusion between technology and industry, while exploring innovative mechanisms for university-enterprise collaboration in research institutions.

The institute currently has nearly 30 faculty and staff members, including 8 academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Engineering, Canadian Academy of Engineering, and Russian Academy of Sciences, 6 national high-level talents, 13 professors, and 10 associate professors. Research team members graduated from world-renowned universities such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tsinghua University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Hong Kong, with an average age below 35, fostering a young, open, dynamic research environment with an international perspective. The institute possesses ample research funding and hardware infrastructure, including multiple NVIDIA H800, A800, and RTX 4090 GPU servers.

Currently, the institute has established the Affective Intelligence and Ubiquitous Computing Research Center, the Digital Economy and Social Computing Research Center, the Mental Health Research Center, and the Brain Cognition and Psychological Security Research Center. It has also built provincial-level research platforms such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Joint Laboratory for Affective Intelligence and Ubiquitous Computing and the Guangdong Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for Social Computing and Mental Health. Research centers share equipment, technology, and talent resources, organizing interdisciplinary and cross-domain research teams to jointly conduct research projects. Through resource sharing, complementary advantages, and mutual cooperation, they synergistically advance cross-domain research to enhance the scientific and practical value of research outcomes, creating a collaborative effect that better serves the developmental needs of the university, society, and the nation.
