The burgeoning world of generative artificial intelligence will be discussed at Millersville University’s “Lancaster AI Symposium 2.0.” The ‘Ville’s Lombardo College of Business will host the symposium on April 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This day-long event will bring together business professionals and educators from around the region to collectively talk about the impacts of this transformative technology on higher education and many other industries.

What started out as a simple interest in AI for the Dean of the Lombardo College of Business, Dr. Marc Tomljanovich, turned into a realization that the possibilities of AI will cause major disruptions to all industries. “Those attending can expect to gain valuable insights into the future of AI, networking opportunities, and engaging interactive learning experiences,” says Tomljanovich.

Tomljanovich is eager to expand the symposium’s offerings to Millersville students this year. “This year, we are holding the symposium on campus and encouraging students to attend. It is more important now than ever that students understand AI technologies to excel in their future endeavors and for business owners and employees to understand how AI can be used as an asset,” says Tomljanovich.

The symposium offers real-world examples of why understanding the potential uses of artificial intelligence is imperative. Computer scientist Ashutosh Saxena, the keynote speaker, is the co-founder and CEO of Caspar.AI. By using generative artificial intelligence to predict health and wellness markers, Caspar.AI lets patients and providers enact preventative treatment. Saxena’s cutting-edge technology continues to pave the way for the healthcare industry.

In addition to the keynote, there will be panel discussions, demos, a networking luncheon, and hands-on activities.

“We are helping to prepare you for your career. If we said you can’t use Chat GPT [on assignments] at your first job with all of that at your fingertips, you won’t be able to augment your natural skills and experiences,” said Tomljanovich.

The symposium will be held in Millersville University’s Student Memorial Center.
