About Cuse AI

Why we’re here, what we believe, and what we’re building.

Cuse AI was born from a simple idea: artificial intelligence is changing everything, and students need a seat at that table—now. At Syracuse, there’s no shortage of curiosity, creativity, or talent. But there was a gap: no place for students of all disciplines to explore AI together. Not just to code it, but to question it. To learn with it. To reshape it in the image of a better world.

We believe universities are the only places where this kind of open, human-first exploration can truly begin. It’s not enough to wait for industry or academia to catch up. This moment calls for a different kind of AI organization—one led by students who are unafraid to ask bigger questions, pursue wild ideas, and push back against the status quo.

Cuse AI is a cultural and intellectual experiment disguised as a club. We make space for engineers and artists, skeptics and optimists, introverts and idea people. Our goal isn’t just to build things—it’s to build perspectives. We approach AI as both a tool and a mirror. A force that reveals what needs fixing, and a sandbox for dreaming up what’s possible.

We’re serious about impact—but allergic to elitism. We’ve designed every part of Cuse AI to be open-ended and inclusive, whether you want to lead a project, host a workshop, or just come to listen. You don’t need to know how AI works to be part of the conversation. You just need to care where it's going.

Our mission is radical access. Creative resistance. Responsible invention. Because if AI is going to reshape the world, it should start with people who still believe it can be better.
