DSAI Fall 2026 Symposium: Keynote Session Livestream

• Presented by the Johns Hopkins Data Science and AI Institute and Hopkins at Home •

Artificial intelligence is transforming education, research, and workforce development. Join educators, researchers, students, and leaders from across Johns Hopkins for the Data Science and AI Institute Fall 2026 Symposium, Artificial Intelligence and Human Learning, a multidisciplinary exploration of AI through three themes: Foundations, Ethics, and Applications. Participants will explore how AI can advance teaching, learning, research, and student success while keeping human learning at the center of innovation.

Hopkins at Home will livestream the symposium's three morning keynote sessions:

AI and Decision Making: Perils, Pitfalls, and Promise

• Munther Dahleh, William A. Coolidge Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
• Artificial intelligence is transforming how digital platforms shape the information we receive and the decisions we make, from shopping and navigation to social interactions and financial markets. Join MIT professor Munther Dahleh for an exploration of how AI-powered platforms can improve individual and collective decision-making, while also raising serious concerns about manipulation, privacy, and concentrated power.

When AI Chooses What You See, Who Chooses What You Do? AI, Information, and Human Agency

AI Readiness at the University

• Javed (Jay) Aslam, Professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences and Chief of Artificial Intelligence, Northeastern University
• As artificial intelligence evolves from a tool into a collaborative partner, universities must rethink how they prepare students, faculty, and institutions for an AI-driven future. Join Northeastern University professor Jay Aslam for an exploration of three essential competencies—AI literacy, fluency, and agency—and how universities can equip individuals not only to use AI effectively, but to direct it thoughtfully and responsibly.
