A smart approach to big data
UTS can count itself one of the world's leaders in artificial intelligence research.
Global recoginition
The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has been recognised as a global top 10 university in artificial intelligence (AI), and number 1 in Australia, in the latest AI Research Index.
Associate Dean (Research Strategy and Management) of the Faculty of Engineering and IT (FEIT), Professor Michael Blumenstein, says the ranking reflects the high quality of research and teaching being done within the Faculty and across UTS.
We're using AI to solve real-world problems, transforming business, government and the future of work.

“We also provide an excellent research training environment and mentorship program to nurture early career researchers in AI, particularly machine learning and decision support.”
Compiled by Korea’s Software Policy & Research Institute, the index ranks the value of AI research performance and competency from 2016-2019 which includes the number of academic studies and citations per publication.
