FSU鈥橲 2024 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Expo explores latest applications for cutting-edge technology
Over the past year, the public and academia have experienced the power artificial intelligence and machine learning possess to fundamentally change the way people interact with one another, with technology and with the world.
糖心vlog is bringing together experts in the use of these technologies Friday, Feb. 23 for the , AIMLX24, an exploration of the latest applications of AI and machine learning in health care.
The expo, which features expert presentations and a panel discussion, is presented by the and will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee.
鈥淏etter understanding the applications of AI and machine learning techniques is crucial for navigating the future landscape of work and daily life,鈥 said Zhe He, AIMLX24 co-organizer and an associate professor in the , part of the College of Communication and Information. 鈥淔or researchers and innovators, knowledge about these techniques is crucial for pushing the boundaries of what is possible, leading to breakthroughs in science and technology.鈥
AI鈥檚 cutting-edge technology focuses on building systems that learn and improve from history and experience rather than through programming. The rapid improvements in AI are having profound impacts on a wide array of industries, including academic research.
This year鈥檚 expo will focus on AI鈥檚 emerging role in health care, featuring presentations from professors, researchers and health care experts. Attendees will learn about new advancements in AI in health and medicine, hear valuable perspectives during individual presentations and engage with practitioners in an interactive panel discussion.
鈥淧roficiency in AI and machine learning also opens up a wealth of career opportunities,鈥 He said. 鈥淎s demand for these skills grows across sectors, those who are knowledgeable will have a competitive advantage in the job market.鈥
AIMLX24鈥檚 keynote speaker is Yuan Luo, director of the Institute for AI in Medicine and an associate professor of health and biomedical informatics in Northwestern University鈥檚 Department of Preventative Medicine.
鈥淎I is here to stay, said Gordon Erlebacher, FSU IDS program director and professor of scientific computing. 鈥淔SU鈥檚 IDS program teaches students to handle all types of data with the help of statistical, mathematical and computational tools. At the expo, students will learn about the applications of their coursework and challenge their expectations as to what is possible. I hope the attendees gain an appreciation of the new life-changing tools on the near-horizon, such as personalized medicine.鈥
Concerns are commonly articulated about the potential for AI software to be abused, not least by those most invested in the technology鈥檚 development. The expo will respond to these concerns and foster discussion on the importance of responsible use.
鈥淚t is important to know that AI and machine learning are not just technical subjects; they are catalysts for transformation across all facets of society,鈥 He said. 鈥淯nderstanding them is key to unlocking their potential and mitigating their risks.鈥
AIMLX24 is sponsored by FSU鈥檚 College of Arts and Sciences, , , , , , and the .
