Artificial intelligence and cybersecurity are growing so fast that some colleges and universities are devoting departments and courses to them.

But the University of South Florida says it will create a whole school for AI, cybersecurity and computing.

On Thursday, USF says in a news release it will create a college focused on the rapidly evolving fields of AI, cybersecurity and computing "with the goal of positioning the Tampa Bay region and state of Florida as a national leader."
