With artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT rapidly gaining traction among students and teachers alike, it’s no surprise the topic took center focus at NJIT’s 8th Annual STEM Forum for School Leaders, “Leading the Digital Transformation in Our Schools.”

Distinguished Professors David Bader and Guiling “Grace” Wang and Professors Cristian Borcea and Vincent Oria in the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) served as part of Governor Phil Murphy’s AI Task Force for the state of New Jersey, a team comprised of industry leaders, academic experts, consumer advocates, and government innovators tasked with establishing programs, trainings and tools that advance the state’s leadership in AI.

Research from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) addresses a critical issue in AI-powered code generation: the prevalence of security vulnerabilities. Ph.D. student Khiem Ton and his colleagues have developed SGCode, a system that combines advanced AI techniques with security analysis tools to detect and fix potential security flaws as code is being created.
