UF alumnus and NVIDIA co-founder Chris Malachowsky, the building’s namesake, played a key role collaborating with architects to design its facade. The building is supported by $110 million from the state, as well as additional private and college funds. Designed to set the standard for future STEM buildings across national and international campuses and transform the artificial intelligence (AI) and data science workforce, the University of Florida held a celebratory ribbon cutting for the Malachowsky Hall for Data Science & Information Technology. The $150 million, 263,440-square-foot, seven-story structure across from the Reitz Union is a multidisciplinary space for medicine, pharmacy, and engineering. It will serve as a hub for advancing computing, communication, and cyber technologies and further support UF’s work to integrate AI across the curriculum.

Machine learning algorithms designed to diagnose a common infection that affects women showed a diagnostic bias among ethnic groups, University of Florida researchers found.
While artificial intelligence tools offer great potential for improving health care delivery, practitioners and scientists warn of their risk for perpetuating racial inequities. Published Friday in the Nature journal Digital Medicine, this is the first paper to evaluate fairness among these tools in connection to a women’s health issue by the study’s author, Ruogu Fang, an associate professor in the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering.
