CS&E Regents Professor Vipin Kumar was named to the UN Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence, the first global scientific body dedicated entirely to artificial intelligence and established by the UN General Assembly.

Selected from more than 2,600 applications worldwide through an independent UN-led review process, the 40-member panel will provide independent, evidence-based assessments of AI and to inform global understanding of its opportunities, risks, and societal impacts. It will serve as the UN’s authoritative scientific voice on AI.

As the world navigates the AI boom, CS&E continues to expand and evolve the curriculum to prepare students for their future careers in tech. Leaning on the expertise of our world-renowned faculty in AI and machine learning, CS&E has developed two new courses and an AI minor to ensure that students across the entire University of Minnesota have access to AI training.

“I like to use the analogy of AI and cooking," Assistant Professor Mattia Fazzini said. "Anyone can use AI to create code, just like anyone can be a home cook and follow a recipe. However, only someone who really understands the flavors and cooking techniques can be a restaurant-quality chef. My course is preparing the next generation of chefs to create quality software using all the tools at their disposal in the most efficient and productive ways.”

The highest bandwidth input into the human brain is the visual system, so how can we leverage this phenomena to help humans communicate with computers? Enter the world of Visual Computing, which uses computer graphics and visual techniques to create an experiential and multi-sensory experience for the user. At the University of Minnesota, researchers in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering (CS&E) are taking on a human-centered approach to visual computing with an emphasis on creating visual tools to solve real-world problems. Our world-renowned faculty leverage the latest virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and data visualization techniques to benefit interdisciplinary projects in medicine, architecture, art, and more.
