Many modern AI systems waste enormous computational resources repeating the same work. In #SCAI, Jia Zou is developing new systems that reduce redundant computation and make AI faster and more efficient as AI energy use grows. news.engineering.asu.edu/202…

Congratulations to Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected PM. The partnership between our 2 democracies continues to be vibrant in science, technology, innovation & entrepreneurship, advancing a free & prosperous future for both our nations🇺🇸🇮🇳

This spring, alumnus Lei Yu returned to #SCAI to help shape the future of computer science education in the age of AI. Now vice president of AI and data at @GDIT, Yu says tomorrow’s engineers must learn to collaborate with AI systems. @liuhuan news.engineering.asu.edu/202…

New research from #SCAI reveals a paradox: When maps show uncertainty in their data, people trust the maps less. The finding raises interesting questions for journalism, science and public communication. news.engineering.asu.edu/202…

The School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence mourns the loss of Professor Dimitri Bertsekas, a pioneering researcher, educator and member of the @theNAEng. We are grateful for his lasting impact on our students, school and field. @MIT

Deeply saddened at the passing of my dear colleague, Dimitri Bertsekas. Everyone in RL, OR and control theory already knows of his monumental contributions. Over the past seven years, we at @SCAI_ASU also got to know him as an unwaveringly kind and gracious man of science. He truly enjoyed his research and has remained active all through; uploading two pre-prints to arXiv just in the past month! While I fully expected him to continue working for years to come, I also know that his contributions and books will be cherished by generations.. RIP 🙏

AI is transforming every industry. @ASU’s new Foundations of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Certificate from #SCAI helps students from any major build practical AI, programming and data skills plus a capstone project for their portfolio. asu.campusesp.com/posts/5879

🎮 Build your own video game this summer at ASU’s Game & AI Camp! Students in grades 7–10 will learn game design, coding and AI-powered creativity tools while creating interactive 2D games. June 15–26 in Tempe. Share with a future game creator! 🚀 #STEM scai.engineering.asu.edu/sum…

Excited to be at #CVPR2026 in Denver! I’ll be presenting two workshop papers: - The Perceptual Observatory: Characterizing Robustness and Grounding in MLLMs, CogVL Workshop - ViTaB-A: Evaluating MLLMs on Visual Table Attribution KnowledgeMR Workshop I’m also excited to co-host GRAIL-V: Grounded Retrieval & Agentic Intelligence for Vision-Language on June 3. Workshop: grailworkshops.github.io/ Looking forward to connecting with folks working on multimodal reasoning, grounded AI, agentic systems, and trustworthy vision-language models. @SCAI_ASU , @ASUEngineering #GRAILV #MLLMs #VisionLanguage #MultimodalAI #AgenticAI

Quantum computing, sensing & comms are gaining attn for applications in areas like cryptography, materials science, genomics & health. PHX's structural advantages (talent, research, entrepreneurial ecosystem) position the region well. Enjoyed discussing w/@kjzzphoenix

America’s semiconductor leadership depends on connecting discovery, talent and manufacturing capacity. ASU is proud to be an inaugural university research partner at @applied4tech's new EPIC Center. Read more: ow.ly/BTbH50Z5Hx6

“Agri-Food Systems as Critical Infrastructure: Rethinking National Resilience and Security” 🌽Agri-food systems are critical parts of the national security enterprise. Time to recognize that, argues Dr. Deniz Karakoc (@SCAI_ASU) in her latest piece from the @SecDefencePLuS Emerging Voices Series. Resilience will only get harder. #FoodSecurity smallwarsjournal.com/2026/05…

From wearable devices to electronic health records, health care is generating more data than ever. In #SCAI, industrial engineer Bing Si is using AI to turn fragmented data into insights that help doctors diagnose earlier and improve patient care. news.engineering.asu.edu/202…

For the record, AI research at ASU really started with my late colleague, Nicholas Findler--who came to ASU almost a decade before me in 1982. Nick started working in AI from 1957--just a mere year after the field got its name, and was, for a time, a research associate with Newell and Simon.  Nick has had wide-ranging interests in AI. A 1997 bio sketch lists Simulation of Cognitive Behavior, Heuristic Programming, Decision Making under Uncertainty and Risk, Theory of Strategies, Computational Linguistics, Information Retrieval, and Expert Systems. He was, in short, AI-Complete. asura.asu.edu/nicholas-findl…
