The Data Science and AI Institute and the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences recently launched a series of symposia about the confluence of AI with the natural and social sciences and the humanities to create a community of KSAS scholars whose interests include using AI tools in their research and/or are studying AI’s impact on society.
Each symposium will focus on a theme and speakers have been asked to prepare their talks for a general, well-informed audience. Most speakers will be KSAS scholars in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, data science and AI practitioners, and researchers from other university divisions.
The next symposium will be held on Tuesday, April 30 and is co-sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Institute for Planetary Health (JHIPH).
