Faraday Future Announces Strategic Partnership with FF AI-Robotics and Boston International Business School to Establish BIBS-FF AI Robotics Institute, the First Industry-Led Physical AI and Robotics Laboratory in the United States

The institute is positioned as the nation’s first industry-driven physical AI and robotics laboratory, integrating education, robotics deployment, and data infrastructure.

This partnership marks an important milestone in advancing physical AI and robotics education by deeply integrating real-world robot deployments, educational systems, and large-scale data generation to build the next generation of physical AI infrastructure.

Building an ecosystem in the age of physical AI

In recent years, artificial intelligence has been moving from the digital world to the physical world. As the first company in the United States to offer both humanoid and bionic quadrupedal robots, FF AI-Robotics is committed not only to developing advanced robotic products, but also to building a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates EAI Device, EAI Brain, an open source open platform, and a distributed data factory.

Rather than building schools, the institute aims to build an infrastructure layer for physical AI talent, deployment, and data.

More importantly, the Institute aims to define talent standards for the physical AI era, data standards for real-world AI training, application and deployment standards for large-scale use cases, and industry-level certification standards for robotics and physical AI.

Education as the first FF AI robotics application scenario

Inside the lab, every student, every robot, and every deployment continuously generates data to train the next generation of physical AI systems.

By deeply integrating robotics into the educational environment, the Institute will serve not only as a talent development platform, but also as an important source of data and an important gateway to the continued evolution of AI systems.

Boston International Business School (“BIBS”) was co-founded by Professor Pedro Nueno, co-founder and founding dean of CEIBS and professor at IESE Business School, widely recognized as one of the leading architects of the modern global business education system, and Professor Lia Ron, co-founder and former publisher of BIBS. harvard china reviewformer co-founder of the School of International Law at Peking University, and former presidential advisor at Cornell University.

Both founders bring extensive experience in global education systems, particularly in modern business school development, entrepreneurship, and international resource integration.

The institute also announced the following inaugural faculty members and co-program directors: Jing Zhao Cesarone, Chairman of the Global CSR Foundation and Global Chairman of AI Universal Education Day. John Li, Senior Specialist in Information Security and AI Risk Management, Stanford University. Dr. Jason Do, Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University and Founder of Marbella AI. Dr. Mark Tan is a globally recognized cross-border biopharmaceutical leader, healthcare investor, and graduate of the Harvard School of Public Health. Frank Cowney, former Des Moines mayor. Dr. Selena Wu, Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania and founder of the Global Artificial Intelligence Alliance (GAIA) and the Penn Global Artificial Intelligence Alliance (PGAIA). Mr. Yang Xiaoze, Chairman of Education Without Borders USA. Mr. He Ping, famous AI novelist and founder of Binghe AI ​​Arts. QiQi Zhang, StoryClaw Co-Founder. Joseph Cirnigliaro, renowned media host and political strategist. Ugozi A. Eze, eminent barrister. Dr. Jeannie Yi, a prominent AI film producer based in New York. Jeff Ye, a prominent RWA art expert based in New York. This includes many Silicon Valley AI experts, New York AI investors, and PhD graduates from top universities and AI industry leaders.

This partnership represents a deep integration of world-class educational resources and cutting-edge AI robotics technology, laying the foundation for the next generation of Physical AI ecosystem.

Institute focus and certification system

BIBS-FF AI Robotics Institute focuses on developing professional talent in the AI ​​and robotics industry, providing strategic thinking, expertise, and practical skills to young learners, industry professionals, and entrepreneurs.

Key areas include developer talent training for both professionals and youth, robotics vocational skills training and certification systems, entrepreneurial empowerment and industrial innovation, and robotics research and applied education.

At the same time, the Institute will establish a global Physical AI certification system for:

Includes robot operations and deployment capabilities, AI development and system integration, multi-scenario automation and solution design, robot data collection and remote operation, and robot maintenance and upgrades.

The goal is to become a standard-setting body for talent development and professional certification in the field of physical AI.

Global recruitment of academic partners

The Institute is now officially recruiting its first global partner institutions, including vocational training institutions, K-12 schools, community colleges, universities, and engineering and technology institutions.

Partner institutions will have access to real-world robotic system implementation and educational resources, standardized curriculum and certification systems, hands-on opportunities related to real-world industry scenarios, and internship opportunities for FF AI-Robotics’ top students.

Through this collaboration, the partners can significantly improve the employability and competitiveness of their students.

Together, we aim to build a talent development system for the age of physical AI and promote deep integration between education and industry.

“Education must evolve with industry. This collaboration represents a new model that tightly integrates learning, practice, and innovation to develop talent that is truly industry-ready in the age of physical AI.” Pedro Nueno, co-founder of BIBS, said.

Professor Riya Ron, co-founder of BIBS and founding co-director of the Institute, said, “The Institute is not only an educational platform, but also an important bridge connecting the world’s educational resources and industrial innovation. We hope that this platform will enable more students and institutions to participate in the development of physical AI.”

“We are entering a new era of physical AI, where intelligence moves from the digital world to the real world. Education is the first application scenario for our robots,” said Chris Chen, co-CEO of FF AI-Robotics. “The Institute will build a comprehensive platform that brings together talent, robot deployments, developers, and physical AI data. This is not just an educational collaboration, but an infrastructure-level innovation in AI and robotics, and a step toward establishing industry standards,” said Riya Ron, founding co-director of the Institute.
