BNL2 Summit 2023: Artificial Intelligence

Discuss the use of machine learning and A.I. in applications, ethics and trust in data models.

Dates: March 9–10, 2023

Hosted by Brookhaven National Laboratory

Motivation

The Science and Engineering Development Program (SEDP) is excited to announce the second BNL2 (Building Networks & Leaders at Brookhaven National Laboratory) Summit at Stony Brook University. This 1 and ½ day event is a result of the 2021 SEDP project team proposals to increase inter-directorate collaboration, build networks, meet new people, and increase interactivities, as well as have a greater shared understanding of research happening at Brookhaven Lab.

The theme of this year's event is Artificial Intelligence where we will discuss topics around the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence in a large variety of applications, ethics and trust in data models, and future ideas and possibilities in A.I. The event will include Keynote Speakers and Subject Matter Experts from Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Summit Speakers

• Opening Keynote:
  • Kerstin Kleese Van Dam, Director, Computational Science Initiative, “What A.I. is and is not”

Summit Venue

Meeting will be held at:

Stony Brook University
Charles B. Wang Center
100 Nicolls Road, Suite 302
Stony Brook, NY 11794 USA

The Charles B. Wang Center at Stony Brook is in the center of the campus. The campus can be reached by car from the Long Island Expressway (LIE, Exit 62, going north on CR 97 to the main entrance of the Campus - about 20 minutes from the LIE). A parking garage is available immediately after the entrance and the Charles B. Wang Center is directly adjacent to it. To find the campus via GPS, enter the address "100 Nicolls Road, Stony Brook, NY 11794."

If you come by railroad from New York City, take the Long Island Railroad's Port Jefferson line from Penn Station to the Stony Brook Station, which is located at the edge of campus. From there walk 5 minutes to the Charles B. Wang Center. Schedule and fare information.
