The University Libraries sponsored a symposium on artificial intelligence on Friday, April 5th. The theme of the symposium was AI Symposium Academic Frontiers of AI: Innovations & Impact. The goal of this symposium is to critically explore a myriad of topics in relation to generative artificial intelligence, providing a rich opportunity for discovery and conversation. We welcome proposals from students, faculty, and staff. Proposals were turned in on February 26th and Notifications of acceptance were received on March 4th.

"The Symposium also brought attention to what we should look out for as a campus community. We can never be too prepared and we should always stay abreast on the ethical uses of AI."
