Cue’s donation will help the university recruit and educate the next generation of tech workers, in growing subject areas like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and autonomous systems.
$8 million of the $10 million gifted will set up the Cue Faculty Fellows scheme. This will involve adding four new faculty members with diverse hiring. The remaining $2 million will go towards the Duke Discovery Fund and the Center for Computational Thinking.
