University of Illinois Springfield Professor of Mathematical Sciences and Philosophy Peter Boltuc is part of a team developing technologies for the next generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

University of Illinois Springfield Continuing and Professional Education will hold an artificial intelligence (AI) in autonomous vehicles STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) camp for high school students.

Doug Hamilton, head of artificial intelligence (AI) research at Nasdaq and a University of Illinois Springfield alum, spoke about the current state of artificial intelligence and ethical considerations during two appearances April 12-13, 2023, on campus.

Hamilton earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from UIS in 2012. He then attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he earned his master’s in engineering and management.
