Join New York Tech Libraries for AI Week 2026. Monday, October 26, to Thursday, October 29, for online webinars on artificial intelligence in research, teaching, and information-seeking from speakers ranging from Ph.D. students to faculty and librarians. A live Prompt-A-Thon (https://events.nyit.edu/event/2026-ai-week-prompt-a-thon-li) event will be held on October 30. Thursday's featured online keynote speaker is Dan Russell, a researcher in artificial intelligence, human–computer interaction, and search with nearly 40 years of experience, including more than 17 years at Google. Author of The Joy of Search: A Google Insider's Guide to Going Beyond the Basics , he will explore how AI is changing the way people search for information and conduct research online.Register (https://nyit.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RY96hpXWQ-yEhbYr5mFcVA#/registration) The week concludes with an in-person Prompt-A-Thon on Friday, October 30.

AI Week 2026 was organized by Sebastien Marion, M.B.A., M.L.I.S. and Eduardo Rivera, M.L.I.S., M.S.Ed., co-principal investigators on Building AI Fluency Through Prompt Engineering: A Scalable Model for Long Island Libraries , the award that funds the program.AI Week 2026 is supported by theLong Island Library Resources Council(LILRC).   Keynote Speaker Daniel Russell, Ph.D.Resident Futurist, University of Maryland (adjunct faculty position)  Daniel Russell has taught as a visiting faculty member at universities world-wide, including the University of Santa Clara and Stanford University. He has worked with Google Deep Mind on its co-scientist project, as a senior research scientist at IBM's Almaden Research Center, managing the User Experience Research group at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, and as director of the Knowledge Management Technologies laboratory within Apple's Advanced Technology Group (ATG). Russell publishes widely, with more than 100 articles and publications in his CV. He is a frequent subject of press interviews and has helped portray a great deal of complex technology to the non-technical world. He received his Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Rochester.

On the final day of the site visit, the Middle States Evaluation Team (https://www.nyit.edu/about/at-a-glance/accreditation/middle-states-accreditation/accreditation-site-visit-information/) will present key findings of their report to the New York Tech community. All students, faculty, and staff are welcome!

On September 8, OpenAI released a 166-page paper that solves a famous conjecture about the formation of singularities in fluid flows modeled by the Navier Stokes equation. The sole author of this paper was a large language model, though the solution relies heavily on deep results obtained by human mathematicians. In just the last six months, advanced AI models have radically revolutionized the way many mathematicians, engineers, and scientists in universities and government labs perform research. Over the next few years, AI will radically revolutionize math-adjacent research and development across many industries. In this talk we will discuss how these changes are likely to impact STEM professions, and why knowing more math (not less) will benefit your career advancement. A Zoom option is offered on registration. Speaker: John Zweck, Ph.D. Professor, Mathematics, New York Institute of Technology About The Math-Physics Seminar Series This series features engaging talks on topics at the intersection of mathematics and physics. With a focus on accessibility, these presentations are designed to be understandable and inspiring for undergraduate students, while offering insights into cutting-edge research in mathematics and physics for all attendees.Register (https://apps.nyit.edu/forms/event-rsvp?e=i8WEv3aKYqdXJSF19VK8srVRVW0eu6K7HBplPO0d3d5MyJeDGPiUfMAXI9HzCVcKPgbm%2BJwNrKvdKmjvuQmeROlZ0gBD4xezo4%2FeNEc2OURsFIONJadlFeGFeX99Zrjkf%2B5lrmJ531d%2FuX2Uyx%2FJ1VMSdr882oe6k3NULuyLQPWN7CFD8xFKOmsm6V5bf%2FgRxZpylTcRNZAMXkgn7luPnUOn1E6e22jswOjdDW1SMclqBwpANS10GNPz2FHDqXHdkhQf3Ff9zaA0igG8hyRU4mVeJspcQ2iXUeaED8DTJ0gXJEy43TuQtQwTbeFoPNra)All events are held during free hour, and pizza is provided!
