New Jersey court officials are turning to NJIT’s Grace Wang, director of the university’s Center for Artificial Intelligence Research, as their technology expert for a new committee to help judges and lawyers understand AI’s role in the legal system.
Center for AI Research
If you're a human resource specialist grappling with AI-based decision systems for hiring good candidates, or a data scientist trying to develop transparent and accountable ranking algorithms for decision-making in critical socio-technical contexts, you will likely benefit from the research of Aritra Dasgupta, an assistant professor in the Department of Data Science at NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing.
Public artificial intelligence programs such as ChatGPT are being embraced by faculty across New Jersey Institute of Technology as the latest classroom tool, just like the introductions of videoconferencing, laptops, computer-aided drafting and pocket calculators that came before.
NJIT’s Department of Data Science in the Ying Wu College of Computing is launching two new graduate programs in artificial intelligence during the 2023 academic year, in support of the increasing demand for qualified AI engineers and analysts to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making in the digital world of the future.
The new programs will address the dramatic growth and proliferation of AI technologies into the mainstream, such as the recent debut of the ChatGPT application.
Guiling (Grace) Wang, professor and associate dean for research in Ying Wu College of Computing, was recently named an IEEE Fellow, one of the electronic technology industry's highest honors.
She is the first woman to earn the honor among several male recipients at NJIT and only the second current honoree in the computing college. Most recipients are based in Newark College of Engineering, given the IEEE's focus on electrical engineering.
Members of NJIT's new Center for Artificial Intelligence Research will look to expand knowledge of the theory, data and applications of their field, which director Grace Wang said is quickly evolving from experimental to practical status.
