According to Danda Rawat, the chief of the Department of Defense Center of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Howard, researchers will commence on February 1, at a temporary location while a more long – term location is being renovated. Washington Post noted that Rawat, who will serve as the center’s principal investigator, expressed hope that the five-year, $90 million contract would be extended “for life.”

A group of colleges led by Howard will include Florida Memorial, Jackson State, Delaware State, Bowie State, Norfolk State, and Tougaloo College.
