What You Probably Don’t Know About AI<\/h2>\n

Speakers:<\/strong> Ronan Humphrey, Adam Opperman, Pratyusava Baral<\/p>\n

Over the last century, computing in science has changed from human computers doing calculations by hand to supercomputers that can perform over 1018<\/sup> (that\u2019s 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 \u201cWhat You Probably Don\u2019t Know About AI\u201d!<\/p>\n
