Join us in New York City for a timely conversation on AI and sustainability with Cornell faculty and leading voices from industry and policy. As AI advances, it is unlocking new ways to tackle complex sustainability challenges while also introducing significant environmental and societal risks. This panel will explore why managing both sides of this equation is critical for leaders across sectors: from big nature data analysis and improving the efficiency of AI to pressure on power grids and the need for responsible AI application. Panelists will highlight key opportunities, emerging risks, and what leaders, donors, and innovators need to […]

What are the specific implications of AI for people living in the Global South? Keynote speakers from a range of disciplines will focus on specific themes. Taking a holistic perspective that considers the historical, socio-cultural, environmental, and political economic context in which AI is embedded in and entangles with the Global South.

Join us for Laurent's insights on how humanities are shifting the emphasis of computer science on AI.

Join the next AI-MI Seminar Series on 04/23 at 3:00 PM ET with Shiwei Zhang, Senior Research Scientist/Group Leader at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ), Flatiron Institute, Simons Foundation. This talk takes on the many-electron problem — where the sheer scale of quantum interactions has long outpaced our computational tools. The speaker presents a physics-inspired approach combining neural networks with Monte Carlo simulation to achieve breakthrough accuracy in modeling two-dimensional electron systems, uncovering exotic quantum phases that previous methods couldn’t reach.Watch live on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@AIMaterialsInstitute

This event features Professor Ayham Boucher, head of AI Innovations at Cornell Bowers, Professor Philip Lorenz of Comparative Literature and Literatures in English, Professor Leif Weatherby of NYI, currently at the Society, and two of our fantastic undergrads: Yuhan Huang and Emerson Moore. The colloquium will address the questions: Is it time to reconceive the role of prompting in pedagogy? In the age of AI, how do we preserve the labor of learning?

Join the AI Innovation Hub for our Spring 2026 Demo Day! We will feature the latest AI solutions developed in collaboration with campus partners and students. Built for Cornell’s unique needs, we will present custom cutting-edge tools, from agentic workflow automation to AI assistants that improve human decision making

Join us for an intensive 3-day training workshop exploring cutting-edge topics in precision nutrition and health. Learn how to leverage large biobanks like All of Us and Nutrition for Precision Health to build analysis plans and workflows focused on human microbiome, metabolomics, and digital twins research. Open to faculty, postdocs, trainees, and researchers interested in precision nutrition, computational biology, and data science. Please note that space is limited.

By connecting philanthropies and the private sector with Cornell expertise across computer, information, natural and social sciences, the summit aims to spark new research, collaborations, and funding pathways that bring cutting-edge data tools into real-world humanitarian decision-making.

Bringing together researchers, practitioners, and community members, the three-day convening will tackle AI's core problem – its massive carbon footprint, displacement of local expertise, and violations of community consent – through collaborative workshops, participatory algorithm auditing, and solution-generating discussions.
