Workshop on Emerging Trends in AI: Exploring Resilience, Robustness, and the Future of Synthetic Data in Research

Speaker: atsunori Hashimoto, Yael Niv – Professor, Princeton Neuroscience Institute and many more

Location: TBA

Date: Monday, May 5, 2025

Location: 2950 Broadway, New York, NY 10027

This two-day workshop brings together leading experts in machine learning (ML) and neuroscience to examine two emerging themes: (1) the relationship between brain resilience and algorithmic robustness, and (2) the role of ML-driven data generation in social sciences and the possible acceleration of scientific discovery. The workshop will hold two panels: one on how insights from ML and neuroscience can potentially inform each other toward the development of more resilient and robust systems, and the second on the ethical and practical implications of synthetic data in shaping research outcomes and policy decisions. The workshop will be hosted by Columbia Engineering, Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, and the NSF AI Institute for Artificial and Natural Intelligence (ARNI)
