Inspired by the Ethics in America series aired on PBS in the 1980s, this event will convene a number of scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders in a Socratic-style conversation designed to foster thoughtful, spontaneous exchange rather than prepared...

Free and open to all – no registration required AI agents can now do real science — suggest and correct research directions, do challenging multistep technical computations, write and run code in any programming language, perform deep literature reviews...

Large language models are rapidly becoming useful partners in scientific work: they can now reason through complex problems, carry out long computations, and even provide valuable insights. These emerging capabilities are beginning to compress the...

Open to faculty and researchers from all Harvard schools Recent debates about Generative AI often ask whether it will replace human expertise or merely assist it. Evidence suggests this framing is incomplete. In this talk, I synthesize results from two...

You’re invited to stop by and see AC215 students present fully developed applications powered by LLMs, Computer, or Machine Learning demonstrating real-world, scalable AI solutions on December 10, 2025, from 9 a.m. to noon in the SEC OMPP, Suite 1.312...

Deep neural networks have achieved unprecedented performance gains across numerous real-world signal and image processing tasks. However, their widespread adoption and practical deployment are often limited by their black-box nature—characterized by a...

This session explores how AI can intersect with the oldest tools of learning: paper, chalk, and voice. Participants will experiment with analog note-taking and sketching, then use AI to process, expand, and remix those materials--capturing the content of...

A special evening session (5–6:30pm) in collaboration with the AFVS Department's Pedagogy Seminar (though all are invited to register). We’ll explore techniques for teaching with media for courses that either teach students to create images, videos and...
