Artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for a long time but has only recently become a household name. Through advancements in machine learning and large language models, AI can generate high-quality content such as text, images, or audio. This capability enables exciting new products and services that enhance productivity and transform how we manage our daily tasks. In academia, AI plays an increasingly crucial role in driving groundbreaking discoveries and revolutionizing educational approaches at all levels.

The University of Kentucky community has embraced AI’s potential in research and education. Researchers from all disciplines use AI tools creatively to find a path and shorten the time to new discoveries. Likewise, educators and students at UK use AI tools to create new ways to present and internalize knowledge. 

The UK Center for Computational Sciences (CCS), ITS Research Computing Infrastructure, the IBI Center for Applied AI (IBI/CAAI), and the UK Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) Hub have joined forces to offer a year-long seminar series aimed at making AI “practical” to the broad UK community. The series’ program will consist of talks by UK scholars on using AI tools and techniques to advance their research or develop new instructional material and methodologies, along with tutorial-type presentations of specific AI tools.

Presentations will occur on Thursdays at 12:15 PM in the CCS conference room (McVey Hall, Room 327). The venue provides some space for in-person participation; remote participation via Zoom will also be possible.
