On its list of the [top undergraduate computer science programs for artificial intelligence](https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/computer-science/artificial-intelligence), BU placed 25th.\n\nBU also set a record overall. It [ranked 34th among national universities](https://www.bu.edu/articles/2026/boston-university-achieves-highest-ever-ranking-from-u-s-news-world-report/), eight spots higher than last year and its best finish in the list's 43 years. U.S. News ranked 422 universities.\n\n## How the AI list works\n\nThe AI rank measures reputation. Survey respondents nominated up to 15 of the best programs in each discipline. A program needed at least seven nominations to earn a rank, and U.S. News [ordered programs](https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/undergraduate-ranking-methodologies) by how many nominations they received.\n\nPeers rank BU's AI work well above its computer science program as a whole, which placed [52nd](https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/computer-science-overall) on the broader list.\n\n## What peers may be noticing\n\nBU built a central AI office in April 2025. The [AI Development Accelerator (AIDA)](/labs/ai-development-accelerator-aida) pulls the University's AI work into one initiative. Computer science professor [John Byers](/professors/john-byers) leads it as executive director. Engineering professor [Yannis Paschalidis](/professors/ioannis-paschalidis) directs AI in academics and also runs the [Hariri Institute](/labs/hariri-institute-for-computing).\n\nAIDA's projects reach students directly. [TerrierGPT](/terriergpt) opened to faculty and staff in September 2025 and gives the BU community free access to leading chatbots. AIDA also runs [AI at BU](https://www.bu.edu/aida/2026/01/14/aida-january-update-for-faculty-and-staff/), a four-hour, self-paced online course for undergraduates, and some instructors planned to require it before their Spring 2026 classes.\n\nResearch money followed. In July 2026, the National Science Foundation [awarded BU $20 million](/news/nsf-awards-20-million-establish-national-cloud-lab-network) to help build a national network of AI-driven cloud labs. [Douglas Densmore](/professors/douglas-densmore), Paschalidis, and [Keith Brown](/professors/keith-brown) lead the work. A month earlier, BU became a core member of an [NSF institute that uses AI for physics research](/news/bu-joins-nsf-iaifi), alongside MIT, Harvard, Northeastern, and Tufts. CDS assistant professor [Siddharth Mishra-Sharma](/professors/siddharth-mishra-sharma) leads BU's part.\n\nIndividual faculty are drawing notice too. CDS faculty fellow [Brian DePasquale](/professors/brian-depasquale) [won a 2026 Sloan Research Fellowship](/news/brian-depasquale-sloan-fellowship) for AI models of how the brain perceives smell. CDS assistant professor [Joshua Peterson](/professors/joshua-peterson) [leads a DARPA-funded study](/news/joshua-peterson-study-ai-trust) that aims to predict when people will trust AI decision-makers. [Deepti Ghadiyaram](/professors/deepti-ghadiyaram) came to BU in 2024 after working at Meta AI and Runway. She now [co-directs](/news/deepti-ghadiyaram-appointed-co-director-of-bu-s-ai-research-initiative) the Hariri Institute's [AI Research Initiative](/labs/ai-research-initiative), which has more than 20 core and affiliated faculty. In engineering, [Eshed Ohn-Bar](/professors/eshed-ohn-bar) runs the [Human-to-Everything (H2X) Lab](/labs/human-to-everything-h2x-lab), which develops autonomous systems that give people real-time assistance.\n\n## Terrier Intelligence\n\nTerrier Intelligence launched in July 2026 as a free, independent [directory](/resources) of more than 350 AI labs, clubs, classes, and professors at BU.", "is_exclusive": true, "image_alt": "The Duan Family Center for Computing & Data Sciences, a 19-story tower of stacked glass blocks on Commonwealth Avenue.", "image_credit": "4300streetcar", "image_license": "CC BY 4.0", "image_source_url": "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Boston_University_Center_for_Computing_and_Data_Sciences_June_2025_3.jpg", "updated_at": "2026-09-22T19:59:45.966104+00:00" }, { "type": "news", "id": "news-boston-push-to-lead-in-ai-raises-safety-and-ethics-questions", "slug": "boston-push-to-lead-in-ai-raises-safety-and-ethics-questions", "name": "Boston's push to lead in AI raises safety and ethics questions", "url": "https://terrierintelligence.com/news/boston-push-to-lead-in-ai-raises-safety-and-ethics-questions", "topics": [ "AI Safety", "Policy", "Ethics" ], "last_verified": "2026-09-22", "image_url": "https://ksjefankhhcvtuhpuefz.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/news-images/boston-push-to-lead-in-ai-raises-safety-and-ethics-questions.jpg", "headline": "Boston's push to lead in AI raises safety and ethics questions", "summary": "The Daily Free Press reported on Massachusetts's effort to become a national AI leader through the state's AI Hub and startup programs such as The Open Accelerator, and on the oversight questions that growth has raised.
