The IACR offers workshops every semester that cover topics such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Data Science, Generative AI, and Programming Languages like R and Python. The Institute also offers consultation and collaboration opportunities covering a wide range of specializations in the broad context of AI. Here are some examples of the student-led projects from Fall ’25. For details on the broad topic of Generative AI, and the relevant university-wide efforts and guidelines, please visit the URI Provost’s AI page.
