Artificial intelligence is going to play a big role in the future and to better help students adapt to this new technology and study its implications, both ethical and social, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has announced a very ambitious project. It’s setting up an artificial intelligence college with an investment of $1 billion.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology confirmed today that two-thirds of the funds required for this college have already been raised. $350 million came from Stephen A. Schwarzman who is the CEO of a major private equity firm called the Blackstone Group. The college will be named the M.I.T. Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing.
An additional $300 million has been secured for this college through fundraising. It will add 50 new faculty positions in addition to new fellowships for graduate students. The faculty positions will be focused on the advancement of computer science. It has been named as a college and not a school to signal that it’s an “institute-wide entity,” with cross-cutting education and research being its primary missions.
The artificial intelligence college at M.I.T will get its own space but that will take time. Until then, it will be housed in other buildings on campus when the first semester begins in the fall of 2019. Its own space is expected to be completed by 2022.

Vinli launches mobility data platform, signs partnership with ALD Automotive
Posted in: Today's ChiliConnected car startup Vinli aims to connect vehicles to the cloud and is today announcing a change in its business model as it partners with the largest fleet operator in Europe, ALD Automotive.
Vinli launched in 2014 as a direct consumer company that allowed owners to add cloud services to automobiles. It was a clever concept, and when it launched four years ago, it was ahead of the curve. The company went on to raise to $6.5M through four rounds of funding, slowly evolving the product to meet the changing needs of the market.
Today, the company is announcing a change in focus and will no longer sell products directly to consumers. The company founder and CEO Mark Haidar tells TechCrunch this is in response to the product’s evolution, which can now offer enterprises a platform for them to launch their own mobility applications directly to their users.
Vinli is discontinuing the production of its hardware and will work with partners to offer the same services to consumers.
To go along with this new business strategy, Vinli is launching a data platform that Haidar tells me can ingest data from any source and correlate it with machine learning and AI, allowing customers to develop predictive services for their products. Called Era, Vinli believes this will enable its customers to mine trends from data without the need of data scientists.
Vinli signed a deal with ALD Automotive to add its connected services to its fleets of 1.6 million vehicles. In a press release, ALD Automotive says Vinli will enrich ALD’s “overall service offering and develop new value-added solutions to improve both driver experience and optimize overall Total Cost of Ownership for efficient fleet management.”
“We believe that the automotive industry is evolving to become a service-based and subscription-driven industry,” said Mark Haidar, CEO of Vinli. “Connected cars and data are at the epicenter of this change. Collecting, analyzing, and discovering trends from ALD’s fleets will not only be transformative to the driver but to the industry as a whole”
Terms of the partnership were not released.
Connecting vehicles to the cloud has significant implications as car makers, insurers and consumers alike can gain deep insights into the habits of the driver and mechanics of the car throughout its life. Vinli seems well positioned to offer a platform to provide this data and today’s moves should help the company into the future.
