Entering the fourth and final year of Princeton University’s Venture Forward campaign, a new installment of the “Making Audacious Bets” video series shines a spotlight on faculty and alumni who are venturing into the unknown and transforming the future.

The initial video in this year’s series introduces Tom Griffiths, director of the Princeton Lab for Artificial Intelligence and the Henry R. Luce Professor of Information Technology, Consciousness, and Culture of Psychology and Computer Science; Chika Okeke-Agulu, director of the Africa World Initiative and the Robert Schirmer Professor of Art and Archaeology and African American Studies; and Leslie Schoop *15, director of the Princeton Center for Complex Materials and professor of chemistry.

A trio of subsequent videos in the series will focus on each scholar and will examine how Princeton is making audacious bets on the potential for their research to light up the uncharted territories of artificial intelligence, art and public policy, and quantum science.

The Venture Forward campaign has three ambitious goals: deepening engagement of the alumni community, amplifying Princeton’s service to humanity and vision for the future, and securing the philanthropic support to turn these audacious bets into reality.
