AI Research Initiatives
2/12/2021 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CST
In February, Dean Rashid Bashir moderated a virtual discussion with expert Illinois faculty on the college's AI research initiatives. You can find a similar conversation we hosted on quantum research initiatives here. Both webinars include faculty presentations followed by a live Q&A.
