Artificial Intelligence in Research and Education (AIRE) Workshop
We are thrilled to announce the inaugural Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Research and Education (AIRE), scheduled on November 21, 2025, at the Georgia Cyber Center in Augusta, GA.
AIRE aims to serve as a dynamic forum designed to bring together scholars, researchers, and educators to explore the transformative impact of AI on scientific and academic practices and to present groundbreaking research, share innovative ideas, and foster meaningful collaborations.
Over the years, AI has undergone remarkable transformations—driven by increasing computational power, an explosion of data, and a deeper understanding of intelligent frameworks. The integration of AI into research workflows and educational environments is reshaping the way knowledge is created, shared, and taught. The workshop focuses on the application of AI in healthcare, cybersecurity, and education through a series of talks, posters, and a panel discussion. We enthusiastically invite you to contribute your latest work to the AIRE Workshop.
