      UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Artificial Intelligence (AI) Week is a week-long event to celebrate all of the disparate threads of AI across Penn State. The week is coordinated by the AI Hub and a full schedule of events is set for the inaugural Penn State AI Week during April 1-5.

      “Our first AI week offers something for everyone in the Penn State community,” said David Hunter, director of the AI Hub. “Various academic departments, the AI centers and other key groups involved in AI and AI research have come together to plan a robust series of virtual and in-person sessions across Penn State’s campuses.”

      There’s still time to register for events and activities at ai.psu.edu/aiweek2024.

      Each day includes multiple events. Here are some day-by-day highlights from the AI week schedule:

      • Monday includes the Penn State Center for Socially Responsible AI’s inaugural Fake-a-Thon and a series of virtual expert presenters and panelists addressing AI in K-12 education
      • Tuesday includes the AI research poster session at University Park and two featured speakers, followed by the AI Awards, all in-person at University Park. A fireside chat with Nittany AI and Lockheed Martin closes out the day.
      • Wednesday includes four research and exploration sessions with Microsoft, offered in-person at University Park and virtually.
      • Thursday offers a morning session with Intel and afternoon sessions with Nvidia and the AIMI March Madness Hackathon finals at Penn State Harrisburg.
      • Friday, the Center for Immersive Experiences will offer a full-day industry 4.0 Open House at University Park’s Pattee Library and the PSU Generative AI Programming Contest will engage student teams to use AI tools to solve programming challenges. The contest is open to all majors and undergraduate students from all Penn State Campuses.

      “I hope students, faculty and staff across our campuses will take advantage of at least one opportunity during AI Week to explore the impact of AI on education, research and industry,” Hunter said.
