UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Artificial Intelligence (AI) Week 2025 — scheduled for Monday, April 14, through Thursday, April 17 — aims to highlight ongoing AI research, development and education across Penn State University, including work to understand the ethics and legal implications of AI.

The weeklong event, coordinated by the Penn State AI Hub, will take place across Penn State University campuses and will feature in-person, virtual and hybrid workshops, panels, art exhibitions and more.

“Artificial intelligence research and education continues to grow rapidly at Penn State,” said Guido Cervone, Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS) interim director. “AI Week provides significant opportunities to learn about the many research projects to advance AI across the University, as well as how we are harnessing AI tools to advance research and education. The Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences plays a central role at coordinating activities across colleges and departments.”

Penn State researchers and students will have the opportunity to build community and share knowledge across their different domains leveraging AI systems.

“AI Week at Penn State is a vibrant celebration of AI — spanning research, education, ethics and industry,” said Mehrdad Mahdavi, AI Hub director and associate professor of computer science and engineering. “Academic departments, AI centers and key stakeholders in AI have come together to curate an exciting lineup of virtual and in-person events across our campuses, offering a unique opportunity to explore, engage and innovate with AI.”

AI Week highlights:

• Monday, April 14: Junior Faculty Showcase spotlighting entrepreneurship efforts from Penn State junior faculty; Nittany AI Alliance’s Nittany AI Challenge finals and awards celebration; interactive AI-powered game design workshop from Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT)
• Tuesday, April 15: TLT’s Dreamery Speaker Series, AI for Science panel presented by Penn State Center for Artificial Intelligence Foundations and Scientific Applications (CENSAI) faculty; World Wide Technology “Why AI?” presentation, Q&A, hands-on activity and giveaways
• Wednesday, April 16: TLT AI Tools for Teaching and Learning and AI-powered game design workshops; Microsoft 365 Copilot and Agents workshop; Industrial A(i)gents Curator Walk-Through; AI Week poster session and reception; Annual AI Awards announcements
