#VIPFaculty Mark Liebert, advisor of the Art & AI Team, and Pamela Pollett, advisor of the Chemical Equity Team, joined an expert panel this past Monday to explore the question: Will AI ever have a soul? As part of the Neuro Next Initiative Seminar Series, the discussion delved into AI, consciousness, creativity, and what truly defines humanity. The panel examined the societal impact of advancing neurotechnology and the evolving relationship between humans and AI.

Check out this description from a student about the Global Assistive Technology Innovation #VIPTeam's multiple trips to Rwanda. The team is working with a local organization to design assistive tech for folks in Sub-Saharan Africa. #wecandothat #undergraduateresearch #assistivetechnology #globalhealthcare

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Rwanda for the 2nd time with the Georgia Tech Global Assistive Technology team! We are a group working to establish a Global Assistive Technology (AT) Innovation Hub called Confluence. The Confluence Hub aims to connect researchers around the world with individuals in Sub Saharan Africa in need of disability AT devices, fostering locally relevant innovation through co-design. Following our 1st visit last Spring, I, alongside Ashlyn Chimenti, had the opportunity to lead a subteam within the group that focuses on the needs of the Masaka Resource Center for the Blind, an NGO that serves the visually impaired across Rwanda. Students at the center are taught self-care and braille, as well as vocational skills such as knitting and farming. Over the span of 7 months, my team, including Leah Thomas, Divya Sharma, and Danessia Zan, worked to ideate and design locally relevant devices for the Masaka Center, including braille slates and white canes. Our work culminated in our revisit to the Masaka Center last week, where we presented our ideations to the inspiring Dr. Donatille Kanimba and Mugisha Jacques, leaders within the Rwanda Union of the Blind. We worked with students and teachers at the center to gain invaluable insights for future designs and look forward to advancing the co-design process in coming semesters. Our group also met with the National Union of Disability Organizations of Rwanda (NUDOR), with whom our Geographic Information Systems (GIS) subteam, including Ruth Minda, Ziqi Tang, Dallin Liu, and Joelle Dlugozima, presented their work to develop a survey platform that maps all disability services provided in Rwanda. Additionally, we visited the CECHE Foundation, where our team’s third subteam Hannah Koppel, Benjamin Soboloff, Andrea Fairchild, Sophia Wang, and Isaac LeCompte, presented their design of wheeled chassis for young children with cerebral palsy. As a team, we built 4 custom chassis for young students at the foundation to enhance their mobility needs. Additionally, our team visited the Equitable Health Organization (EHO) and researchers within Carnegie Mellon University Africa, groups we look forward to working with to develop the Confluence platform. Lastly, our team had the incredible opportunity to visit rural villages near Musanze, Rwanda, where we spoke to individuals with disabilities, hoping to enable accessibility in rural locations. I am beyond grateful to the Georgia Tech College of Design and the Georgia Tech VIP Program for facilitating this opportunity as well as Jean Paul SEKAREMA and Jean d'Amour Uramutse for their invaluable support throughout the trip. I want to especially thank our faculty Zerrin Ondin-Fraser, UXC, PhD, Tony Giarusso, and Dean Ellen Bassett for providing their expert guidance throughout this project. I look forward to continuing work with Confluence and expanding the process of co-design for global disability access and inclusion!

#VIPPublication The Smart Stadium VIP team has developed a testbed that integrates multiple data sources including video clips, play annotations, sensor measurements, and fan interactions to enhance sports analytics and fan engagement. Machine learning identifies and classifies plays from video footage, while sensors track crowd excitement through vibrations and audio. Mobile applications further engage fans by offering interactive games, social connectivity, and play reviews. Overall, the system aims to improve both in-game analysis for coaches and the overall spectator experience.

When #VIPFaculty Antonia Antoniou isn’t working with her EcoCar VIP team, she is researching ways to reduce electronic waste through sustainable packaging. With millions of tons of e-waste generated annually, her work focuses on designing recyclable materials and improving their mechanical properties to prevent failure. She collaborates with experts to develop alternatives like glass substrates and recyclable aluminum, ensuring high performance while reducing environmental harm. Antoniou stresses that cleaner manufacturing and better recycling practices are urgent to break the growing e-waste cycle.

#VIPTeam Through the VIP program, undergraduate and graduate students collaborated to develop SubjECTive-QA, a dataset that helps machine learning models analyze how people speak in financial earnings calls. The dataset teaches AI models to detect features like clarity, caution, and optimism in responses. It was tested in areas like finance, politics, and journalism, and shown to improve how we identify misinformation. Presented at NeurIPS 2024, this work highlights the VIP Program’s impact in fostering interdisciplinary research and innovation. Read more: https://loom.ly/7TTZHDQ
