The University of Arizona Knowledge Map (KMap) web application (kmap.arizona.edu) will be decommissioned on February 27, 2026. Campus colleagues will still be able to access resources previously provided by the tool and can find those below.
As a part of this decommission process, the team that supported the KMap tool will be transitioning to the Office of the Chief AI Officer (OCAIO), effective this month. This transition supports the university’s strategic vision for artificial intelligence across campus. Under the leadership of Iqbal Hossain, the KMap platform evolved into a valuable tool that has supported discovery, collaboration, and decision-making across campus. While the tool will be decommissioned, the team’s work and innovation will continue to contribute to the university’s research enterprise under the purview of the Chief AI Officer.
We thank the team for their contributions during their time within UAIR and wish them continued success in OCAIO.
