Designing MSA's Al Future: Al Center Research Intern

The IMSA Al Center, currently located in A148, is a key initiative of the IMSA Vision 2033 themes, aiming to educate and inspire the IMSA community about Artificial Intelligence's potential in education. 'MSA's Al Center empowers students to explore Al through hands-on technology engagement and comprehensive resources. This year, the Al Center has worked with staff to develop several Al Center-sponsored intersessions including an Al Bytes for All Pilot Cohort, Al Lab Cohorts, an Al Prompt Engineering Cohort, and Al in Culture and Society. Al development and application courses designed by CS Faculty are offered in the course catalog and will begin to run next year. The Al Center Research lane aims to encourage student research that focuses on solving problems using Al to advance the human condition. Over the course of the internship, the Center provided opportunities for students to get involved with Al such as the Al Student Mentorship Group and the Al Student Innovation Cohort. As a part of the internship, a facial recognition model was developed to further explore Al applications and implications for the IMSA community.
