The School of Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has launched a new minor in quantum computing, positioning students at the forefront of one of the most rapidly developing fields in technology.

RPI’s artificial intelligence club, RPai, hosted an exclusive fireside chat with Curtis R. Priem ’82, co-founder of NVIDIA and a key figure shaping the modern AI revolution. The conversation was led by RPai president Aashrut Jain ’27, and discussion points were guided by questions from RPai members and other RPI students.
