AI Exploration Day will feature two back-to-back rounds of concurrent breakout sessions where we’ll explore artificial intelligence from every angle. These sessions invite our community to think critically, creatively, and collaboratively about AI’s influence on research, industry, education, and society.
Whether you’re inspired by AI, curious about its potential, or even skeptical of its impact, this is the part of the day designed for you. The breakout sessions will feature a wide range of perspectives and topics, providing space for open dialogue and discovery.
Sessions will align with one or more of the following tracks:
AI Frontiers: Research, Discovery, and Innovation
Focus: Cutting-edge research from NJIT that’s redefining what AI can do in science, engineering, and beyond.
AI in Industry: Transformation and Disruption
Focus: How AI is changing the way industries operate—from engineering to finance, healthcare, and urban systems.
AI for Sustainability, Energy, and the Environment
Focus: Leveraging AI to address global challenges related to climate, energy efficiency, and sustainable development.
AI Literacy for All: Building Future-Ready Learners

The Future Human: Society, Culture, and Identity in an AI World

This is the moment in the day when all voices and viewpoints—pro, critical, or somewhere in between—come together to shape the conversation about AI at NJIT and beyond.
