How is artificial intelligence reshaping science and scholarship? From enabling new questions and discoveries to transforming the research process itself, AI is changing how knowledge is produced across disciplines. The AI Arts & Sciences Showcase features fast-paced lightning talks from Penn Arts & Sciences graduate students and postdoctoral researchers highlighting how they use AI-and the new directions it is opening-across the sciences and humanities. The showcase offers a snapshot of emerging approaches and collaborations shaping the future of research at Penn. This event is presented by the Data Driven Discovery Initiative, MindCORE, the Price Lab for Digital Humanities, PDRI/DevLab, and the Center for Soft and Living Matter.
