AI operates in emergent ways across various fields of research and communities of practice, influencing and transforming approaches in ways that can be both promising and challenging. Processes and impacts are being studied, among others, in healthcare, finance and education. Each domain addresses the continuing implications about the potentials, possibilities, and actualizations along with AI.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet how does AI operate in specific fields of research? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During LASER 14<\/em>, panelists will discuss AI’s emergent qualities in each of their own fields. They will discuss its role and how it provokes or induces changes in their practice of research-creation, environmental data science, indigenous knowledges, and governance. By sharing novel approaches, which includes the importance of addressing biases, ethics, societal and environmental impacts, the goal of this event is to navigate evolving concerns about AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
