Shared Vision, Scalable Impact: AI For Research
Dell, Thursday, April 2nd, 2026
Dell is teaming up with universities, research institutions and federal agencies to create scalable AI infrastructure. This public-private collaboration is fueling groundbreaking research and preparing the workforce for an AI-driven future.
This past week at SeedAI's American AI Festival, I joined a closing panel of researchers, policymakers and industry leaders to talk about one big question: how do we build AI infrastructure that can keep up with the pace of discovery? The conversation echoed what we at Dell Technologies see every day in the field - institutions need partners who understand the realities of deploying AI at scale and are willing to solve those challenges together.
Universities and research institutions are rethinking how they access and fund AI and high-performance computing infrastructure. Shared, multi-institution models are gaining ground, funding models are evolving and new partnership opportunities are opening across the ecosystem.
