IDEAS on Generative AI Symposium
April is AI Month at Penn! Check out the calendar for a full list of events across campus.
Join us at the University of Pennsylvania for the IDEAS on Generative AI Symposium, a forward-looking event exploring the next wave of generative and multimodal artificial intelligence. As generative models rapidly evolve from text and image synthesis toward integrated systems that can reason, perceive, and act, this symposium will bring together leading researchers across natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and machine learning to discuss the scientific foundations and future directions of the field.
The program will feature talks from prominent AI researchers as well as opportunities for discussion and community building.
We invite students, faculty, and researchers interested in the science and impact of generative AI to participate in what promises to be an exciting exchange of ideas shaping the future of AI.
Venue: Amy Gutmann Hall Stavis Family Auditorium
More details coming soon.
