Ensuring Our Students Have the Skills to Succeed
The Paul English Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) Institute is sparking crucial conversations about artificial intelligence within our community. Through a series of dynamic events and media coverage, we are encouraging a dialogue that bridges the gap between AI experts and learners and empowers individuals to navigate the complexities of AI with informed perspectives.
By organizing symposia, presentations, and panel discussions, we aim to educate and engage diverse audiences, from students and academics to industry leaders and the general public. In addition to fostering community engagement, these events increase student awareness of the institute and its programming. By attending PEAAII-affiliated events, students gain insights into AI applications across various disciplines, enhancing their understanding and sparking interest in pursuing AI-related studies.
Media coverage plays a pivotal role in amplifying these discussions beyond our campus walls. Through coverage in the Boston Globe and on WGBH this year, we reached a broader audience on campus and in the Greater Boston community.
Catalyzed by the Institute and working with our esteemed faculty, we have begun imagining ways to embed and incorporate AI into and across the fabric of our curricula. In doing so, we look to fortify our long-standing commitment to providing a democratizing education, one that is accessible and empowering and ensures our students have the skills to succeed in these modern times.Marcelo Suárez-Orozco, Chancellor, UMass Boston
