Why Internet2? Hear from our leaders and community.

James Deaton, Internet2 vice president of Network Services & Research Engagement“The AI conversation in research and higher education (R&E) is shifting …. That shift matters, and it’s one the Internet2 community is uniquely positioned to address. For decades, we’ve been building shared infrastructure to connect R&E institutions to the resources they need to fulfill their missions. Now, we’re applying that experience to support AI innovation.
