But like a skilled human\, AI sometimes makes mistakes — and for some critical sy stems\, a mistake can have disastrous consequences.\n\nWhile we have decad es of experience incorporating unreliable machine components into robust c ritical systems (a sensor failure typically doesn't lead to an airplane fa lling out of the sky)\, and even more experience crafting processes based on unreliable human input (a single mistake by a healthcare provider is of ten caught and corrected before causing patient harm)\, generative AI outp uts are something new: While law firms have always hired newly minted lawy ers\, only recently has AI become capable of writing a legal brief like a law school grad. Do review and assurance processes developed for fallible humans map unchanged to fallible AI?\n\nJascha Swisher\, technical staff a t the Laboratory for Analytic Sciences\, will moderate the discussion. The panelists will be:\n\nMike Green\, an AI engineering researcher at the La boratory for Analytic SciencesMichelle Rodenburg\, a law and technology li brarian at the UNC School of Law and the UNC Law LibraryChris Provan\, an AI evaluation and monitoring lead at Vega Health LAST-MODIFIED:20260909T183355Z LOCATION:Partners I – NC State University\, Raleigh Founded URL:https://calendar.ncsu.edu/event/ai-hot-topics-assurance-and-oversight- of-generative-ai?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=ralei gh-nc X-SOURCE-NAME:NC State University Calendar Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://calendar.ncsu.edu/group/charlotte_alumni_network END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:2026 Applied AI Symposium DTSTART:20260923T130000Z DTEND:20260923T220000Z DTSTAMP:20260819T122239Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53736238598127 CATEGORIES:tech DESCRIPTION:The 2026 NC State Applied AI Symposium brings together faculty \, researchers\, students and industry partners to explore the rapidly evo lving role of artificial intelligence in engineering and computer science.

But\, as data becomes more prolific\, datasets become larger and more complex. How do we find meaningful patterns in our data? How can we communicate those p atterns to others? Data visualization allows us to make sense of today’s ever evolving information landscape.\n\n \n\nThis workshop will introduce the history and basic principles of data visualization. Learn about best practices and resources for making an impact with your data through compel ling charts\, graphs\, and maps. At the end of the short course\, particip ants will be able to:\n\nUnderstand the preattentive process and how it af fects visual perceptionCritically evaluate the accuracy and quality of vis ualizations they encounter in their daily livesImplement best practices wh en creating their own visualizations \n\nThis workshop is offered by the U niversity Library and will be led by librarian Lorin Bruckner. \n\n \n\nTh is workshop is being offered remotely via Zoom.

You will learn how to manage AI tools that interact directly wit h participants\, prevent therapeutic misconception (when participants mist ake research for real treatment)\, and safely run studies involving decept ion or incomplete disclosure. The session also explains when research with AI qualifies as a clinical trial and breaks down fundamental rules for he alth data privacy\, participant protection\, and global AI regulations. At tendees must have a basic understanding of standard IRB procedures.\n\n To foster an engaging environment and protect real-time discussions\, this l ive workshop will not be recorded. Learners are asked to join on time\, ke ep webcams on\, and remain fully present and engaged throughout the worksh op. The use of AI recording assistants\, transcription tools\, or external recording software is strictly prohibited. Attendees utilizing these tool s will be immediately removed from the workshop.
