2027 AI Plus Symposium: AI Plus Public Impact Research

UAlbany’s 2027 AI Plus Symposium will explore public impact research related to artificial intelligence. The 2027 AI Plus Symposium will convene a major interdisciplinary public forum examining how research on and with AI can advance the public good at a moment when artificial intelligence is reshaping nearly every arena of contemporary life. The symposium will approach Public Impact Research across disciplines and sectors, bringing technical research into conversation with work in the arts & humanities, education, health, public policy, emergency preparedness, and other fields in which AI is inflecting issues of sustainability, professional practice, and civic life. Our program explores not only what AI can do, but how research addressed to difficult questions that define contemporary discourse on AI can generate lasting public value—and how its consequences should be understood, evaluated, and governed. Come back soon for updates! This year's symposium aligns with UAlbany's participation in a national Public Impact Research initiative supported by The Pew Charitable Trusts.
