Students and AI

Union College students are embracing the power of AI in their research endeavors, a trend that is prominently showcased at the annual Steinmetz Research Symposium. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, students are integrating AI-driven methodologies into their projects across disciplines.

From engineering simulations guided by machine learning algorithms to sociological studies employing natural language processing for insightful sentiment analysis and more, the incorporation of AI is yielding novel insights and augmenting the depth of our students' research.
