The School of Artificial Intelligence (Institute of Artificial Intelligence) at Beihang University was established in 2018 with the aim of leveraging the university's multidisciplinary strengths to lead fundamental theoretical research in AI, achieve breakthroughs in key technologies, and develop significant application system platforms, while cultivating outstanding and top-notch innovative talent. The school has developed a distinctive "1+M+N" development model, adhering to the philosophy of cultivating exceptional engineers through strong foundational knowledge, emphasis on practice, and integration of industry and education. It has formed a prominent hub for interdisciplinary education and research. The school comprises several research centers, including the Research Center of Applied Mathematics and Fundamentals of Intelligence, the Research Center of Perception Intelligence and Cognitive Intelligence, and the Research Center of Intelligent Detection and Collaborative Control Research Center. It has been approved as a National AI Industry-Education Integration Innovation Platform and hosts several provincial and ministerial-level research platforms, such as the Ministry of Education's Key Laboratory of Mathematics, Information, and Behavior, the Joint International Research Laboratory of Dark Matter and Refined Intelligence, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Key Laboratory of "Integrated Precision Intelligent Sensing of Aerospace Optics-Microwave," and the Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Future Blockchain and Privacy Computing. As the initiating unit, the school proposed and was among the first to receive approval from the Ministry of Education for an undergraduate program in artificial intelligence in 2018. It was also among the first in China to establish interdisciplinary degree authorization points in AI and was approved in 2023 as a first-tier doctoral discipline in artificial intelligence, pioneering a comprehensive bachelor-master-doctorate talent cultivation system in China. The AI program has been selected as a pilot program for integrated undergraduate-graduate education at the university. The discipline of artificial intelligence has been recognized as a Beijing High-Precision Discipline and approved for the National Special Program for Cultivating High-Level AI Talent in Critical Need. The school has assembled a faculty team that includes members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
