However\, like any technology\, these opportunities also come with risks.  Join the Michigan AI Lab as we discuss the potential fo r AI to tackle some of our most complex societal issues such as climate ch ange\, poverty\, and accessibility.  We will also discuss the inherent ri sks such as bias\, security\, and misuse.  Bring your questions for an op portunity to engage directly with Michigan AI faculty experts.\n\nAbout th e Presenters:\n\nAlexander Rodriguez is an assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He rec eived his PhD in computer science from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2023. His research interests include problems at the intersection of m achine learning\, time series\, multi-agent systems\, uncertainty quantifi cation\, and scientific modeling. These are primarily motivated by public health\, computational epidemiology\, and community resilience. His work h as been recognized with the best paper award at ICML AI4ABM 2022 and was a warded the 1st place in the Facebook/CMU COVID-19 Challenge and the 2nd pl ace in the C3.ai COVID-19 Grand Challenge. He was also named a ‘Rising S tar in Data Science’ by the University of Chicago Data Science Institute in 2021 and a ‘Rising Star in ML &\; AI’ by the University of Sout hern California in 2022. His dissertation received the 2024 Outstanding Di ssertation Award from the College of Computing at Georgia Tech and the 202 4 ACM SIGKDD Dissertation Award Runner Up. His homepage is alrodri.engin.u mich.edu.J\n\nJeong Joon (JJ) Park is an assistant professor in CSE. He is broadly interested in computer vision\, graphics\, and artificial intelli gence. His current research focus is on realistic 3D/4D content generation using physical and neural representations: generations for large-scale\, dynamic\, and interactive scenes are primary targets. His group explores 3 D vision\, graphics and machine learning\, and their applications to robot ics\, medical imaging\, and scientific problems. Before coming to Michigan \, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University and finished hi s Ph.D. at U of Washington\, Seattle.\n\nThis program will be in the Libra ry’s lower-level meeting room.
