A primer on artificial intelligence, followed by a community mapping activity of AI usage on Columbia's campus.
About this Event

This event is a primer on AI. What is AI, anyway? What does "generative" mean? Is AI sentient? What kinds of AI are there? And where might we find it across Columbia and Barnard? Experts will help us understand what AI is and isn't and unpack the hype around it. Following presentations and a Q&A, audience members are invited to start drafting a map that locates AI usage on campus.



Event Speaker

Chris Wiggins, Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics and Systems Biology at Columbia University
