Assessing and Imagining the Impact of Generative AI on Science Symposium: Open Panel

Through three public panels and discussions, the Assessing and Imagining the Impact of Generative AI on Science Symposium will examine how AI is currently deployed in research, how access and equity shape its impact, and how emerging innovations intersect with policy, funding, and public trust. Featuring leading voices from both within Cornell and across academia and industry, the event offers a rare, interdisciplinary look at the opportunities and challenges ahead as generative AI transforms how knowledge is produced, shared, and evaluated. Public Panel: Tracking, Understanding, and Governing AI: How generative AI is currently used in research, and how such use can be responsibly governed.
