Seminars

The AI3 Insights Series (AIS) is an ongoing program at the AI Innovation Institute, where distinguished leaders are invited to present lectures to the artificial intelligence community. Since it began in the Fall of 2019, the AIS has successfully hosted many prominent AI researchers and changemakers.

Other outstanding speakers of interest come as part of the Computer Science Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS). Recent visitors include Lyle Ungar, University of Pennsylvania; Rene Vidal, Johns Hopkins University; Daniel I. Rubenstein, Princeton University; and Patrick McDaniel, Pennsylvania State University.
