GREEN BAY, Wis.—Artificial intelligence (AI) and a radical shift towards software-driven technologies are driving the need for a new breed of software professionals. Businesses need talent that bridges the skills gap between traditional software engineering and modern generative AI applications. To meet this regional workforce need, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is launching a new Bachelor […]

The Milwaukee community celebrated the grand opening of the Microsoft AI Co-Innovation Lab, housed within the UWM Connected Systems Institute, on June 25. The lab is Microsoft’s first AI Co-Innovation Lab with a dedicated focus on helping manufacturing advance their competitive edge through AI. It’s also the first such lab based at a university. The […]

When extreme weather strikes, it can change lives in an instant. That’s why Rupsa Bhowmick, assistant professor of Geography and Environmental Science at UW-La Crosse, is using artificial intelligence (AI) to make forecasting faster, smarter, and more accurate — especially for communities most at risk.  Bhowmick’s research focuses on predicting tropical cyclones in the Southwest Pacific, […]

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee celebrated a major milestone on June 25 with the grand opening of the Microsoft AI Co-Innovation Lab, housed within the UWM Connected Systems Institute. The ribbon-cutting ceremony highlighted the partnership among Microsoft Corp., the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, TitletownTech and UWM.  This new lab is Microsoft’s first AI Co-Innovation Lab focused […]

The generative artificial intelligence (GAI) revolution has changed the landscape of higher education, prompting us to reconsider our approaches to teaching and learning. GAI tools have the potential to enhance student engagement, promote critical thinking, and prepare learners for a future where GAI plays a significant role. They also pose legitimate concerns about the value […]

The University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point launched a new Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence, combining technical programming, ethical awareness and hands-on learning to prepare students for careers in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. The program emphasizes real-world applications, local partnerships and responsible innovation to meet growing workforce demands in Wisconsin and beyond.

Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau didn’t expect to feel wistful packing up his former office in the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s computer sciences department. But he started thinking about all the students he’d met there and the late nights he’d spent grading exams. “I literally worked in that same office for 25 and a half years,” Arpaci-Dusseau said.

As generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) rapidly evolves, many software products are integrating this technology. While our officially supported campus applications are contractually obligated to protect university data, some may utilize third-party AI add-ons or extensions (often called AI Bots) that do not offer the same level of security. 

UW-La Crosse graduate student Kaaviyashri Saraboji is blending her compassion for animals and her drive to design meaningful software.   The UWL software engineering student is developing a new software to help prevent collisions between wildlife and vehicles, a major issue for Wisconsin. In the state, one in every 60 car accidents involved an animal in 2023, […]

We have access to a seemingly endless amount of information on the modern internet. But with this abundance comes a host of problems, like finding the exact information needed for a project or knowing when a source is accurate and credible. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools can help students and scholars sift through vast amounts […]
