New ‘Thought Summit’ series welcomes proposals on data science and AI
Cornell faculty are invited to submit proposals for Thought Summits, a new forum designed to catalyze interdisciplinary research in data science and artificial intelligence (AI) and to position Cornell as a national leader in these rapidly evolving fields. Proposals will be accepted through June 16.
Thought Summits on Data Science & Artificial Intelligence – Call for proposals
CALL FOR PROPOSALS – Apply by June 16, 2025
“Thought Summits” are a Cornell forum aimed at identifying and developing inter- and intra- institutional collaborations in the novel areas of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. We envision a Thought Summit as a fully-funded 3-5 day symposium hosted at Cornell’s main campus, where a core of Cornell faculty can interact with about 20 external experts and leaders from academia, government, industry, and/or non-profit organizations.
Smarter, faster AI models explored for molecular, materials discovery
Cornell researchers are demonstrating how artificial intelligence – particularly deep learning and generative modeling – can accelerate the design of new molecules and materials, and even function as an autonomous research assistant.
Delicious innovation: Students aim to shake up the food system
Cornell students are driving innovation in the food industry through entrepreneurship, developing solutions that enhance nutrition tracking, reduce waste, and improve sustainability. Initiatives include AI-powered nutrition tracking, upcycled dried fruit products, low-calorie juice alternatives, and agricultural hydrogels made from repurposed insects.
Gender, nationality can influence suspicion of using AI in freelance writing
A new study by researchers at Cornell Tech and the University of Pennsylvania shows freelance writers who are suspected of using AI have worse evaluations and hiring outcomes. Freelancers whose profiles suggested they had East Asian identities were more likely to be suspected of using AI than profiles of white Americans. And men were more likely to be suspected of using AI than women.
AI tools help people with speech disabilities make timely jokes
A team of researchers from Cornell Tech is reimagining how technology can support users with speech disabilities – not just in functional speech, but also in making real-time jokes during conversations.
Personalized AI tools can combat ableism online
New Cornell research reveals that social media users with disabilities prefer more personalized content moderation powered by AI systems that not only hide harmful content but also summarize or categorize it by the specific type of hate expressed.
AI suggestions make writing more generic, Western
Artificial intelligence-based writing assistants are popping up everywhere – from phones to email apps to social media platforms.
But a new study from Cornell – one of the first to show an impact on the user – finds these tools have the potential to function poorly for billions of users in the Global South by generating generic language that makes them sound more like Americans.
