A wide range of disciplines are adopting artificial intelligence, or AI, at a rapid pace. From science and medicine to the humanities and education, AI is influencing the landscape of how information is accessed and processed. At Michigan State University, the College of Engineering is exploring new ways for AI to improve lives through railway safety, AI security, learning and health outcomes.

“Chœurs Atlantiques | Tales from the Atlantic Beyond,” a documentary by MSU professor Safoi Babana-Hampton, is screening worldwide, including Michigan on Sept. 12, major European festivals on Africa and its diaspora, and has won a Best International Documentary award.
