Welcome to Episode 79 of the Princeton Podcast, sponsored by the Municipality of Princeton – encouraging civic participation and amplifying the voices that shape our community.

In this episode, Mayor Mark Freda welcomes Liat Krawczyk, the Executive Director of the New Jersey AI Hub. 

Liat explains how the Hub was created by the State of New Jersey, Princeton University, Microsoft, and CoreWeave. She shares the Hub’s goal to prepare New Jersey for the AI-era economy. The conversation covers research & development and innovation, including the newly announced New Jersey supercomputer to expand access to compute capacity across the state’s colleges and universities. 

Liat also discusses the Hub’s workforce and education research and what its data shows about AI activity in higher education. She describes efforts to reduce duplication, expand experiential learning, and connect schools with employers. She also describes reaching residents outside of schools through libraries and online training, plus support initiatives for our state’s small and medium sized businesses. 

Liat closes by describing the Hub’s small team, its facility, and its core focus on statewide collaboration.
