About this Event
We are a reading and discussion group on AI & machine learning and their social, political, and scientific implications. We meet by Zoom once per month on the first Tuesday from 12pm-1pm, to discuss pre-circulated papers and articles. Researchers and professionals with interests in AI & machine learning are welcome to participate.
For our next meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 4, we'll read into the disruption caused by DeepSeek -- a Chinese AI company whose models are beating benchmarks of OpenAI and other companies at a fraction of the cost.
Topic: The Deep Seek Disruption
Introduced by: William Mapp (CEAMLS)

The AI-ML Interdisciplinary Forum for Theory (AIM-LIFT) Mission Statement:
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving with still uncharted benefits and costs. Steering a course for an AI in society, and society alongside AI, demands technical competence and theoretical imaginativeness that is still too rare. AIM-LIFT contributes to better AI futures through technically informed and theoretically sophisticated discussion of AI/ML in its full context, drawn from multiple disciplines, skills, and backgrounds.
We meet on 1st Tuesday of each month, from 12pm-1pm, by Zoom to discuss pre-circulated papers. Someone gives a short introduction to the papers (5-10 minutes) and the group discusses.
AIM-LIFT is co-organized by
Gabriella Waters (gabriella.waters@morgan.edu) and
Phillip Honenberger (jaywilliam.honenberger@morgan.edu),
both at CEAMLS (the Center for Equitable AI & ML Systems) at Morgan State University.
The group is hosted by CEAMLS.
