AI governance in Miami Gardens, Florida is shaped by published public-sector policy and local research institutions. This hub records 10 verified resources for Miami-Dade County, each carrying the source it came from and the date it was last checked.

Government

  • Eleventh Judicial Circuit Order 26-04 — AI certification in filings

    Issued 15 January 2026 for the circuit serving Miami-Dade County, the order required a filer using generative AI to certify that all factual assertions, legal authority and citations had been independently reviewed and verified, and that the signer accepted full responsibility for the contents. SUPERSEDED by the statewide rule effective 15 June 2026. The responsibility clause is why it is still worth reading in Miami-Dade County: it forecloses the argument that the model produced the error.

  • Two Florida circuits, two different certifications

    The Eleventh Circuit order of 15 January 2026 and the Seventeenth Circuit order of 26 January 2026 were issued eleven days apart and worded their certifications differently — one centring responsibility for contents, the other verification of every citation. That divergence is exactly why both were preempted five months later by a single statewide rule. For Miami-Dade County it is a documented case of circuit-by-circuit AI rulemaking being tried and abandoned inside half a year.

  • Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.515(d)(2)

    Amended by the Supreme Court of Florida on 28 May 2026 and effective 15 June 2026, the rule requires the signer of any document filed in a Florida court to certify that all legal authorities cited exist and are accurately cited. It binds attorneys and self-represented litigants alike, so a Miami-Dade County resident filing without a lawyer carries the same duty as a firm.

  • One statewide standard replacing the circuit patchwork

    The Court simultaneously entered an administrative order preempting the circuit court administrative orders that had required AI-specific disclosures, explicitly to replace a patchwork with a uniform statewide standard. The shift is instructive for Miami-Dade County: Florida tried circuit-by-circuit AI disclosure for about five months, then abandoned it — and the rule that replaced it regulates the ACCURACY of citations rather than the use of the tool.

Organization

  • Frost Institute for Data Science and Computing, University of Miami

    Led by Nick Tsinoremas, vice provost for research computing and data, IDSC runs data-intensive research from medicine to earth sciences, urban planning, digital humanities and business, organised around research programmes including one dedicated to artificial intelligence and machine learning. It operates the Pegasus and Triton supercomputers and a 5G edge computing environment, which makes it one of the few places in Miami-Dade County where a claim about compute can be checked rather than accepted.

  • FIU Applied Research Center — applied artificial intelligence

    The Applied Research Center at Florida International University, on West Flagler Street in Miami, performs applied and advanced research in artificial intelligence, cyber security and enterprise systems, delivering work in computer vision, robotics, IoT, sensors and networks for federal and state governments and national laboratories, and operates an AI and Big Data Hub with CPU and GPU servers. Research delivered to government rather than to industry is a different kind of neighbour for Miami-Dade County.

  • FIU AI Center of Excellence and the ADAM initiative

    FIU runs an AI Center of Excellence as a hub for research and collaboration, alongside ADAM, which covers the university's work across AI, data science and machine learning. Two universities with named AI centres inside Miami-Dade County is unusual for a market whose state has enacted no AI statute — the expertise here is considerably ahead of the rules.

Training

  • University of Miami BS in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

    A full undergraduate degree in data science and AI through the Department of Computer Science, alongside FIU's College of Engineering and Computing, which runs multiple research labs employing AI. Two universities with AI programmes inside Miami-Dade County is the local pipeline, and it matters more here than in most markets because Florida has no enacted statewide AI statute — the expertise is local even where the rules are not.

Event

  • AI 305 Conference

    A conference held at FIU examining the university's role in the region's AI development, named for the local area code. A recurring public event named after Miami-Dade County's own dialling code is about as local as an AI gathering gets, and it is the realistic entry point for a business here.

Procurement

  • Sanctions for nonexistent or inaccurately cited authorities

    The Court added an explicit sanctions provision letting judges impose reprimands, contempt findings, striking of pleadings, dismissal, costs, attorneys' fees and other remedies after notice and an opportunity to be heard. Naming the penalties is what makes this enforceable rather than advisory, and for anyone in Miami-Dade County relying on a model to draft, the exposure is now specific and personal.

What AI training or workforce provision exists in Miami Gardens, Florida?

This hub records 2 verified training, workforce or event resources for Miami Gardens, Florida, including University of Miami BS in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence and AI 305 Conference.

Miami-Dade County has a population of 2,685,296, and Education/Health Services leads employment at roughly 20%.
