The rich diversity of research, teaching and learning activities in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at 91亚色 is the focus of a new website launching Sept. 16.
The will serve as a central hub for AI research and curriculum at 91亚色. It showcases the interdisciplinary network of scientific, engineering, health, societal, ethical and legal research at the University, as well as training opportunities at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Visitors to the website will discover a growing repository of stories and events featuring new curricular initiatives, research impact, discoveries and profiles of 91亚色 faculty involved in the ever-expanding world of AI.
鈥淭he website is intended to be not only a lightning rod for internal community members to find each other but also a starting point for external stakeholders interested in engaging with all that is AI at 91亚色,鈥 says Professor Rebecca Pillai Riddell, associate vice-president research.
The goal of the website is to showcase the myriad innovative projects and initiatives at 91亚色 addressing the science, engineering and practice of AI and its impact on society.
鈥91亚色 is keenly interested not only in the technology but the many societal contexts in which these technologies and applications are embedded. The University will continue to prioritize the evolution of the AI@91亚色U community into real-life spaces, places, and projects,鈥 says Pillai Riddell. 鈥淲e hope that community members will reach out to contact us at yorkai@yorku.ca聽 with their ideas and proposals for additional site content, and read the forthcoming AI Task Force report (due out later this fall) led by Professor James Elder (Faculty of Health and Lassonde School of Engineering) and Professor Pina D鈥橝gostino (Osgoode Hall Law School).鈥
The new website was created collaboratively by a sub-committee of the AI Task Force: 聽Barb Edwards (VPRI), James Elder (Health and Lassonde), Jason Miller (UIT), Rebecca Pillai Riddell (VPRI), Ian Stedman (Osgoode), Ruther Urner (Lassonde).
