Developing interdisciplinary, human centered approaches to AI scholarship, curricula and entrepreneurship.
The Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence at Colby is the first cross-disciplinary institute for artificial intelligence (AI) at a liberal arts college. The Institute facilitates interdisciplinary, human-centered scholarship using rich datasets with real-world consequences and prepares students for a future where AI is transforming industries, careers, and modes of discovery, creativity, and scholarship. AI shapes all our lives; we should all be informed, critical AI tool users and tool builders.
Davis AI’s postdoctoral associate Tahiya Chowdhury turned her JanPlan course into an opportunity to share AI tools and tips with others across the community. Her Medium blog posts offer insight into teaching AI tools to students as well as sharing what the use of AI really looks like.
Anyone who uses an AI tool in some part of their daily life, is an AI user. Well, this is most of us. – Tahiya Chowdhury
The Roux Institute in Portland, Maine hosted a conference on the State of AI in Maine. Speakers at the conference included faculty from Colby – Amanda Stent, Director of the Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Dale Kocevski, Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy.
Art made with the help of artificial intelligence can be controversial, but it’s also a way to showcase human creativity.
