The One-U RAI seeks partnerships through multiple mechanisms:

• Distinguished Visitors Program: Aligned with the One-U RAI’s goal of attracting the best talent to the University and the State, an important element of the initiative is bringing leading scholars, faculty fellows, and other experts from all sectors to the University for short-term as well as extended visits. The One-U RAI welcomes industry sponsorship of these important engagements.
• Special Interest Groups: The One-U RAI supports focused special interest groups (SIGs) that include experts from industry, government, and academia including researchers, students, practitioners, etc. These special interest groups provide an opportunity for constituents to connect with each other on topics related to responsible AI, with the goal of stimulating the sharing of ideas and fostering collaborations.

• Community Consortium: The Responsible AI Community Consortium (RAI-CC) aims to create a framework where academia, government, industry, and the community collectively and symbiotically engage in the responsible development and use of AI to advance discoveries, drive innovation, create an AI-savvy workforce, increase AI literacy, and foster societal good across Utah and the region, as well as nationally and globally.
• Research Partnerships: The One-U RAI welcomes research collaborations involving industry, other universities, and governmental entities. Such collaborations may pursue multidisciplinary translational research on a range of research areas related to responsible and equitable AI design, development, and deployment. Such partnerships may also include seeking funding from federal entities with industry partnership and support.
• Student Internships: The One-U RAI encourages industry to participate in providing business case studies for classroom education, classroom speaking opportunities, and career fairs to engage with students, potentially resulting in co-ops, internships, externships, and employment prospects. Industry partners may also provide undergraduate/graduate scholarship opportunities for students to engage with One-U RAI.
• Shared Cyberinfrastructure: The One-U RAI welcomes industry partnerships in establishing an open, shared, and equitably accessible cyberinfrastructure, including computing and storage, shared datasets and models, software and tools, educational and training content, and virtual and physical experimental spaces (e.g., living laboratories) to advance and accelerate translational research and development in responsible AI.
• Community Outreach: Engaging with the broader community on issues related to responsible AI and its impacts is integral to the One-U RAI, and we seek industry partnership in achieving this goal. We anticipate an abundance of opportunities for industry partners to serve on panels at the University and in the broader community, as well as to organize joint events on related topics.
