Forum on Engineered AI Systems:
The year is officially here, folks. Yep, we’re talkin’ . Forget killer robots for a sec (or not, because those are kinda cool and terrifying), marks the year AI busts out of its software shell and dives headfirst into the real world. We’re on the cusp of a wild ride where AI isn’t just an app on your phone—it’s woven into the very fabric of, well, everything.
And that’s where this forum comes in, fam. Johns Hopkins University and the National Academy of Engineering are teaming up to bring you a deep dive into the world of Engineered AI Systems. This ain’t no stuffy conference, either. We’re talking nine sessions packed with industry rockstars ready to break down the awesome potential and, let’s be real, the potential pitfalls of this tech revolution.
Day
The Rise of Engineered AI Systems
Let’s kick things off by defining what “Engineered AI Systems” actually means in . (Spoiler alert: it’s way cooler than it sounds). We’ll trace the journey of AI from its humble beginnings as lines of code to its current form as an inseparable part of the systems shaping our world. Buckle up, because we’re also gonna tackle the big questions about how this tech will reshape society and what that means for all of us.
Computer Vision in Action
Forget those grainy security cam feeds, people. Computer vision is here to change the game. This session dives into the nitty-gritty of how computer vision is revolutionizing industries across the board. We’ll be dishing on real-life examples, from self-driving cars to medical imaging that’ll blow your mind. Of course, we’ll also be keeping it real and talking about the ethical dilemmas that come with AI that can “see”.
The Power of Natural Language Processing
Yo, Siri, translate this: NLP is about to change how we interact with machines. This session delves into the mind-blowing advancements in NLP and their impact on how we communicate with our devices. Get ready to explore everything from real-time translation to AI that can understand your emotions (seriously). But hold up, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. We’re also going deep on the potential for bias in NLP and how to design systems that are fair and just.

Robotics: Redefining Human Capabilities
Move over, Rosie the Robot, things are getting real in the world of robotics. We’re not just talking automated arms on factory floors anymore (though, those are getting pretty slick too). This sesh is all about how AI is pushing the boundaries of what robots can do, from performing complex surgeries with precision to exploring the depths of space. Get ready to ponder the implications of this tech on the future of work and what it means to be human in an increasingly automated world.
Day 2
AI in Medicine: Revolutionizing Healthcare
Hold onto your stethoscopes, folks, because AI is about to give healthcare a major upgrade. This session is all about how AI is transforming medicine, from diagnosing diseases with mind-blowing accuracy to personalizing treatment plans based on your unique DNA. We’ll be diving into real-world case studies that’ll make you a believer in the power of AI to improve (and maybe even save) lives. But of course, it wouldn’t be a proper AI discussion without addressing the ethical considerations, like patient data privacy and the potential for algorithmic bias in healthcare algorithms.
Ethical Design: Building Responsible AI Systems
With great power comes great responsibility, right? That’s especially true when it comes to AI. This session is all about building AI systems that are ethical, fair, and accountable. We’ll be talking about the importance of transparency in AI decision-making, how to mitigate bias in algorithms, and why building trust in AI is crucial for its success. Get ready to dive into the nitty-gritty of responsible AI development and what it takes to ensure this powerful technology is used for good.
AI in Aerospace Engineering
Fasten your seatbelts, because AI is taking flight! This session will explore how AI is transforming the world of aerospace engineering, from enabling autonomous flight (think pilotless planes!) to revolutionizing air traffic control and propelling us further into the cosmos with AI-powered space exploration. We’ll be discussing the potential of AI to make air travel safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. But it’s not all smooth sailing – we’ll also be tackling the unique challenges and opportunities that come with integrating AI into the complex world of aerospace.
AI in Civil, Environmental, Chemical, Materials, and Mechanical Engineering
Get ready for an AI-powered infrastructure overhaul! This session showcases how AI is shaking up the world of engineering across multiple disciplines. From designing smarter, more sustainable cities to developing cutting-edge materials with AI-powered algorithms, we’ll explore how this tech is being used to solve real-world problems and create a more resilient future. Expect mind-blowing examples of AI applications across these fields and a glimpse into the future of engineering, where AI plays a pivotal role in shaping our world for the better.
The Future of Engineered AI Systems
Hold on tight, because this is where things get really interesting. Our panel of AI gurus will gaze into their crystal balls (okay, maybe not literally) to give us their predictions on the future trajectory of Engineered AI Systems. We’ll be tackling the big questions about the potential benefits and challenges of widespread AI adoption and what it means for humanity as a whole. And because we believe in open dialogue, this session wraps up with a Q&A where you can pick the brains of the experts and share your own thoughts on the future of AI.
