What You Probably Don’t Know About AI

Speakers: Ronan Humphrey, Adam Opperman, Pratyusava Baral

Over the last century, computing in science has changed from human computers doing calculations by hand to supercomputers that can perform over 10¹⁸ (that’s 1,000,000,000,000,000,000!) operations per second. This exponential growth in computing power has enabled the development of sophisticated machine learning algorithms (often referred to as artificial intelligence) capable of analyzing data, recognizing patterns, and making predictions in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. But what even is AI, and how do scientists utilize these evolving technologies? From computing history, to modern environmental and ethical concerns, join us to learn “What You Probably Don’t Know About AI”!
