Founded by Rene Kizilcec roughly seven and a half years ago, the Future of Learning Lab studies the intersection of technology, education and learning science across all age groups, from primary through post-secondary. The lab’s projects span a variety of application areas, from a national database of tutoring interactions to artificial intelligence powered clinical training tools deployed at medical schools across the country to a language-learning platform used in Cornell’s own classrooms.
As generative AI becomes a dominant gateway to information, we risk losing something far older and harder to replace: the local knowledge, cultural memory, and lived expertise that never makes it into training data. In a new commentary, Deepak Varuvel Dennison, a Ph.D. student in Information Science in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, warns that this shift could trigger a global “knowledge collapse”—and that we’re only beginning to understand what’s slipping away.
In an effort to unify the rapidly expanding set of academic activities investigating artificial intelligence (AI), Weill Cornell Medicine is launching a new AI to Advance Medicine initiative. Encompassing a Dean’s Lecture Series and Dean’s Grant Program, the...
A new artificial intelligence framework developed at Cornell can accurately predict the performance of battery electrolytes while revealing the chemical principles that govern them, providing engineers with a new tool for designing better batteries.
Cornell’s Center for Data Science for Enterprise and Society and Cornell’s Artificial Intelligence Initiative are sponsoring a Call for Proposals for THOUGHT SUMMITS, a Cornell forum aimed at identifying and developing inter- and intra- institutional collaborations in the novel areas of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
Cornell Tech has appointed Tanzeem Choudhury as its Chief of Health Innovation and has formed a new Health Tech Hub Advisory Committee composed of leaders from across the healthcare industry.
An article about AI combatting conspiracy theories, co-authored by Cornell psychology researchers Gordon Pennycook and David Rand with a collaborator, has won the 2026 Newcomb Cleveland Prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The association’s oldest award, the prize is given to the authors of an outstanding research article published in the journal Science.
The Cornell Agricultural Systems Testbed and Demonstration Site is working with the Weatherspoon lab in computer science to create a data pipeline and analytics platform that will allow farmers to aggregate their data for informed decision-making. At the same time, the researchers are ensuring that every farmer’s data will be kept private.
