Join us for a day of AI: Research Talks, Demos, Posters, & Panel!

As Artificial intelligence advances rapidly in areas such as data modeling and pattern recognition, researchers are increasingly applying these tools to accelerate scientific discovery. The 8th annual Michigan AI Symposium will be dedicated to exploring AI for Science. Speakers and panelists from both academia and industry will present the latest AI research on how AI is transforming fields such as biology, physics, chemistry, and climate science. This event is hosted by the Michigan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Our symposium aims to bring together participants from both academia and industry who are interested in the foundations or real-life applications of artificial intelligence.

The symposium will take place on North Campus, in Stamps Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center with a poster session in Tishman Hall of the Bob & Betty Beyster Building
