The IACR offers workshops every semester<\/a> 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<\/a> from Fall \u201926. For details on the broad topic of Generative <\/em>AI, and the relevant university-wide efforts and guidelines, please visit the URI Provost’s AI page<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
