Exciting news! @BU_tweets Hariri Institute with @IGS_BU won a $3M @NSF NRT grant to fund an interdisciplinary training program for PhD students to solve complex sustainability challenges at the industrial level. ➡️tinyurl.com/4mu3eayw #SustainableEnergy #NSFGrant #BUComputing

What is the role of GenAI in Research? Boston University Professor and Hariri Institute Director @YPaschalidis discusses how GenAI impacts the world— particularly research and development, education, and business — on the @connectedworld podcast. "There is no way to put the genie back in the bottle... based on the report of the AI task force, this is a leap in technology, it’s here to stay, and we need to critically embrace it," says Paschalidis. ➡️Find the podcast audio and transcription here: tinyurl.com/2p9f9rdu @BUProvost @BostonUResearch #GenAI #GenerativeAI @BUexperts @BU_Tweets @BUCollegeofENG
