The University of Utah’s “AI supercomputer” was christened “Redtail” as it went online last month. Redtail, expected to be an essential part of what university officials describe as a new artificial intelligence ecosystem, ranked No. “We are building an AI ecosystem with our partners where researchers, students, entrepreneurs and communities can use AI to solve society’s greatest challenges,” Randall said. The University of Utah released a call for proposals for “AI challenge projects” open to Utah System of Higher Education researchers and educators. Those selected will have six months of access to Redtail and assistance from AI experts to help run the projects.
