SDSC's industry-focused AI Consortium driving innovation, strategy, and trustworthy AI governance
Interdisciplinary AI research draws inspiration from many fields of science and management. SPARK's mission is to advance AI knowledge, strategy and practice to achieve business success and competitive advantage, and to influence the development of modern, transparent and trustworthy regulatory policy, implementation and corporate governance.
The Executive Forum hosts workshops and discussion forums on critical AI topic areas, hosts and participates in AI-focused events, and connects Consortium members in areas of common and synergistic topic areas.
The ARC engages with industry and academic partners to conduct future-oriented research, project development, and educational initiatives. Work typically begins with early-stage, proof-of-concept studies that inform and evolve into formal, scalable research designs.
SPARK AI was founded in 2024 to address the complex challenges of AI implementation through interdisciplinary collaboration.
Hosted at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), SPARK AI unites AI researchers and industry leaders to create a unique ecosystem for innovation and thought leadership.
Our consortium brings together AI experts, data professionals, managers, and academic researchers, united by a common goal: ensuring AI creates sustainable value for businesses while benefiting society.
SPARK AI's vision is to develop innovative and practical solutions for how people and organizations create, consume, and interact through the power of AI, amplifying their impact on how we live, work and connect with the world.
