Asheville InstitutePrograms
AIML's current work focuses on education and community wellbeing in Western North Carolina. Innovation projects are framed as translation, implementation, and partnership work in service of those charitable goals.
Active
AIML works with UNC Asheville and Dr. Adam Whitley to design and implement new computer science curricula, including structured approaches to AI-assisted learning that keep students in control of goals, plans, and acceptance criteria. The initiative →
Active
Community education on brain health, healthy aging, resilience, movement, nutrition, and wellness, delivered in local settings such as libraries, gyms, churches, wellness groups, and community organizations. The programs →
Capacity
Education technology translation — structured learning workflows, AI literacy, human-in-the-loop practices, curriculum materials, and public education around responsible technology use.
Community implementation — program design, partner engagement, plain-language explanation, pilot structure, and community-facing adaptation of promising tools.
Domain expertise — neuroscience, physiology, ECG/HRV interpretation, wearable data, machine learning, and educational program design.
Future
AIML is seeking local collaborators for a future project that would help chronically ill individuals understand stress, recovery, and physiological resilience through ECG wearables and related education — when illness makes it hard to communicate, a person's own physiological signals can keep them present in their care, giving caregivers an objective window into comfort and stress. Future initiatives are not presented as active service lines until suitable local collaborators, funding, and program settings are in place.
Future
AIML is exploring ways to identify, organize, and explain accessible open-source technologies that support education, wellness, healthy aging, and community resilience.
