Four Corners AI Conference highlights ethical, rural-focused innovation
More than 530 community members gathered at FLC to explore responsible, community-centered applications of artificial intelligence.
The AI Institute at Fort Lewis College is a regional hub for AI exploration, education, and training, helping La Plata County responsibly and proactively shape its future in an AI-driven world.

Our annual Four Corners AI Conference sparks new ideas, connections, and hands-on learning around how artificial intelligence can serve rural communities.
Our Elevate AI incubator program aims to equip faculty, staff, local entrepreneurs, community members, and regional partners with the skills, resources, and support needed to turn their ideas into successful AI-driven solutions.
Free community AI workshops, led by Tom Miaskiewicz as part of his Katz Endowed professorship, are designed for local businesses, organizations, and entrepreneurs eager to explore the potential of AI.

The AI Institute at Fort Lewis College develops impactful AI education and training resources, creates channels for networking and collaboration, and champions AI pilots that advance the public good.
