Join the AI and Society Department on October 26 from 1:30-3:00 p.m. in Bansal Atrium (1st floor) | Davis Hall for the first in a series of lightning talks and discussion exploring the intersection of Social Sciences and AI.

AIS' vision is to create a future world where AI systems are built by society, for society. We believe that the Social Sciences are an integral part of this mission — after all the social sciences have been studying society for centuries (way before computing, let alone AI, was a thing). We strongly believe that social sciences are an integral part of the foundation on which AI systems by society, for society should be built. We are thrilled to have our next AIS open house be on Social Sciences and AI (the AIS open house series will be hosted monthly during the fall and spring semester) and we hope you can join us.

Faculty are invited to register to present a 5‑minute lightning talk or to participate in discussion around these important themes. Please fill in the form even if you are just planning to attend so that we can order food accordingly.

The AI and Society department held the first in a series of lightening talks and discussion exploring the intersections of Arts, Humanities, and AI on September 21 from 1:30-3:00 p.m. in Bansal Atrium (1st floor) | Davis Hall.

AIS' vision is to create a future world where AI systems are built by society, for society. We believe that the Arts and Humanities are an integral part of this mission — not just in critiquing (existing) AI systems but also providing the foundations on which AI systems by society, for society should be built. We were thrilled to have our inaugural AIS open house be on Arts, Humanities, and AI (the AIS open house series will be hosted monthly during the fall and spring semester) and we hope you can join us.
