Join the Data Center Working Group on October 16 for a talk with Esther Kang, assistant professor of design studies in the School of Human Ecology.
The prompt-response format has played a formative role in our understanding of generative AI. Gillespie will present a history of technologies that use this format, and he will explore media scholarship for insights into normalizing anthropomorphized chat.
Join DSI, the College of Computing and AI, and the UW–Madison Libraries for this discussion series designed to engage the UW–Madison community in conversations around the impact of AI on academia. Events are scheduled throughout the fall semester.
This year’s La Vaporera will explore What We Don’t See: the invisible worlds — mathematical structures, bacteria, atmospheric turbulence, cultural narratives — that shape everything we are. This event is part of the Wisconsin Science Festival and Hispanic Heritage Month.
The gift aims to accelerate four high-impact research initiatives at the university: quantum technologies, brain health, fusion energy and national security.
DSI Affiliate Gary Shiu was recently named the Paul Dirac Professor of Physics. His research focuses on unifying quantum mechanics and gravity into a consistent framework for understanding nature.
The projects, spanning fusion to critical minerals, are among 278 funded awards to national labs, companies, universities and non-profits in order to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, scientific discovery and national security through a new platform that combines AI, supercomputing, quantum systems and advanced scientific instruments.
DSI Affiliate Daijiang Li received an NSF CAREER award. His project integrates ecological theory, large-scale data, and AI to transform the study of urban biodiversity.
UW–Madison’s first new college in more than four decades will explore and inform technological change for societal benefit.
