Dal partners with industry leader to create a new artificial intelligence and healthy aging research chair and lab.

Faculty and staff, students, researchers, industry and government all gathered on campus earlier this month for an in-depth discussion on the role artificial intelligence is playing in our lives today — and what it's poised to transform in our future.

Dalhousie University is hosting the province’s first-ever artificial intelligence (AI) symposium this week. On Thursday, May 9, the event will feature workshops, keynote speakers and networking opportunities.

In an era where internet of things (IoT) devices—from virtual assistants and smartphones to coffee makers and washing machines—are ubiquitous, data exhaust is particularly troublesome. Many IoT device users have no idea how much data is being generated, how it is being collected and what it is being used for. This comes with significant risks.

Artificial intelligence can process large amounts of chicken vocalizations, identifying patterns in the birds’ communications.

Internet-enabled devices listen to our every word and keystroke, but the data they collect and where it goes is not well understood. Dalhousie computer scientist Dr. Nur Zincir-Heywood is getting a handle on the risks in a corporate partnership with engineering firm Calian.

The new direction builds on transformative discoveries, an increase in research productivity, a boost in commercialization and partnerships, and the collective momentum of Dal's research community.

A new digital app created in a Dal lab uses a mixture of artificial intelligence and machine-learning techniques to translate journal entries and contextual data into personalized, evidence-based recommendations.
