Faraday Future partners with Boston International Business School for AI institute
Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) announced a memorandum of understanding with Boston International Business School to establish the BIBS–FF AI Robotics Institute. The signing ceremony took place in Omaha during the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting.
The partnership aims to create what the companies describe as the first industry-driven Physical AI and Robotics Institute in the United States. The institute will integrate education, robot deployment, and data infrastructure. Definitive agreements remain subject to approval by Faraday Future's board of directors.
Boston International Business School was co-founded by Pedro Nueno, co-founder and founding dean of CEIBS and professor at IESE Business School, and Liya Rong, former publisher of Harvard China Review. The institute announced faculty including professors from Peking University, Harvard, Stanford University, and University of Pennsylvania.
The institute plans to focus on AI and robotics talent development, offering training in robot operation, AI development, system integration, and automation design. It will establish a certification system covering robot deployment capabilities and maintenance procedures.
The partnership will seek additional academic partners including vocational training organizations, K-12 schools, community colleges, and universities. Partner institutions will receive access to robotic system deployment resources and standardized curriculum systems.
"Education must evolve alongside industry. This collaboration represents a new model that closely integrates learning, practice, and innovation," said Pedro Nueno, co-founder of BIBS.
Faraday Future, founded in 2014, delivered its FF 91 vehicle in 2023 and announced plans to enter the robotics business with sales beginning in February 2026. The California-based company describes itself as an embodied AI ecosystem company.
