Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, has received the Association for Computing Machinery Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM CCS) Test of Time Award for his influential 2015 paper, “Privacy-Preserving Deep Learning.”
At 15, Tobias Weinberg lost the ability to speak – now as a Ph.D. student at Cornell Tech, he’s using AI to improve the technologies he and others with speech disabilities rely on to communicate.
Michael Macy, Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences in Sociology in the College of Arts and Sciences, with a joint appointment in the Department of Information Science in the Cornell Ann S.

Cornell has won three of 15 major grants from the Bezos Earth Fund, awarded to leverage artificial intelligence in the fight against climate change and environmental challenges.
Every day, millions of people are discharged after extended hospital stays, but matching these patients with appropriate care facilities can be arduous, often reliant on months-old, inaccurate data.
Now, a text message-based, hybrid computer-human system that regularly updates both patients’ and care facilities’ availability statuses, developed by a Cornell doctoral student, is smoothing that time-consuming process. The system was tested at a hospital in Hawaii for 14 months, beginning in early 2022, and helped place nearly 50 patients in care facilities.
Researchers at Cornell Tech and Cornell Bowers engaged directly with 15 content moderators on Reddit to see exactly how they try to preserve the news sharing site’s humanity in an increasingly AI-infused world.
Cornell physicists and computer scientists have developed a machine learning architecture inspired by the large language models (LLMs) behind ChatGPT to help them study the vastly complicated interactions that happen when nature’s smallest particles interact.
Researchers in the Virtual Embodiment Lab found that engagement in social virtual reality, whether with loved ones or total strangers, enhances pain tolerance.
