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 […]

Assistant Professor Aaron R. Gierhart is helping future educators navigate the evolving role of artificial intelligence in K–12 classrooms through his Educational Technology course, which emphasizes AI literacy, ethical use and accessibility. By integrating tools like ChatGPT into instruction, Gierhart prepares teaching candidates to critically and responsibly use AI to enhance learning while maintaining the […]

College-level writing requires students to do much more than put words on a page. In English 101, they learn and practice rhetoric — the art of effective communication. Crafting convincing arguments, tailoring messages for a specific audience and carefully considering how words affect a reader are important skills that provide the foundation for writing and […]

Without computers, it would take Jake Luo a lifetime to sort through the sheer amount of data that is integral to his work. An associate professor in UWM’s Zilber College of Public Health and College of Engineering & Applied Science, Luo focuses on identifying patterns in massive, sprawling electronic health records to highlight disparities in […]

The rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries from healthcare to finance, creating a rising demand for a workforce capable of creatively integrating and critically assessing AI technologies.  Some experts predict AI’s rise will spark a renaissance in the humanities, shifting the workforce focus from tasks machines can handle to deeper questions about […]

Chatbots – those little text bubbles that pop up in the corner of so many consumer sites – have long been a fixture in the digital world. Now, the growing popularity of generative AI programs has only supercharged their presence, and their abilities. Conversations with ChatGPT and similar apps are getting more realistic by the […]
