Today our School of Computing participated in a joint research event, AI in Action, bringing together colleagues from our Faculty and the Smith School of Business at Queen's University.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we diagnose disease, understand consumers, optimize operations, and even power autonomous systems in the physical world. AI in Action brings together leading researchers from computing and business to explore how AI moves from technical innovation to meaningful societal and organizational outcomes.

Through diverse perspectives, our four speakers showcased the full spectrum of AI, from algorithms to applications, highlighting the power of interdisciplinary research in shaping the future of decision-making across industries.

Thanks to all who attended!
