Cedric Bone wants to better understand how humans adapt to artificial intelligence systems. His research has led to a government scholarship award that fully funds his tuition and guarantees a research role upon graduation.

A team of RIT researchers, led by Professor Linwei Wang, is improving healthcare by creating hybrid AI digital twins of patient’s organs and diseases. The work will lead to real-time, physics-integrated digital twins of the liver and improved AI models that could assist doctors with heart surgery.

Cybersecurity experts are studying what happens when autonomous AI systems collect, process, or share Social Security numbers and other sensitive data. The published research finds that many AI tools lack safeguards and don’t align with privacy policies.

Computer science major Emma Schmitt took a required co-op seminar class to help prepare for the internship search and what do to on the job, helping her land co-ops at Honeywell/LenelS2 and Microsoft.

Researchers have created a new tool to stress test large language models (LLMs) that power AI chatbots, including ChatGPT. Using this innovation, developers can build more trustworthy AI systems and users can see which LLMs contradict themselves.

Dr. Avinash Maurya, a recent computer science Ph.D. graduate, has been recognized with the ACM SIGHPC Doctoral Dissertation Honorable Mention award for his dissertation which advanced HPC simulations and AI computations in supercomputers.

RIT is teaming up with Gallaudet University to prepare the next generation of artificial intelligence researchers and practitioners who will develop AI for everyone.

Linwei Wang, professor in the Department of Computing and Information Sciences Ph.D, has been named the Bruce B. Bates Endowed Professor at RIT.

Over the next three years, the Research Experience for Undergraduates Site in Computational Sensing for Human-centered AI will welcome nine undergraduate students each summer to RIT’s campus. The site is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

A new project funded by the National Institutes of Health is using artificial intelligence to map the full journey of illnesses and discover entirely new disease pathways.

A collaboration between RIT's Machine Learning and Data Intensive Computing (Mining) Lab and the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) was featured in LLE in Focus Issue 6. Qi Yu, professor in RIT's School of Information, and computing and information sciences Ph.D. students are bringing artificial intelligence expertise to research in high-energy density (HED) physics.

A team of RIT experts has created CTIBench, a new tool that evaluates how much a large language model really knows about cybersecurity. CTIBench is the first and most comprehensive benchmark in the Cyber Threat Intelligence space. The tool is already being used by Google, Cisco, and Trend Micro.
