The College of Engineering at Koç University, despite commemorating its 20th anniversary just recently, has established itself as a key contributor to AI-related technologies in a short amount of time. The College has attracted faculty members from top institutions and boasts a select body of alumni. In February 2020, Koç University and İş Bankası jointly established the Artificial Intelligence Center at Koç University to create a center of excellence in the emerging field of artificial intelligence. The center creates unmatched synergy combining the scientific resources of the College of Engineering with the financial support of İş Bankası to add to the mission conceived a century ago.
