Emerging Technologies' AI: Community of Practice (AICoP) is a multidisciplinary gathering of curious minds, exploring the practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) at Columbia University. The community provides a platform for learning, discussion, and experimentation—helping to demystify AI, encourage exploration, and foster inclusive collaboration.
AICoP continues with a closer look at Gemini and NotebookLM, two of Google’s most advanced AI tools now approved for use within Columbia’s secure environment. The session will be led by John P. Martin, Emerging Technologist and Spencer Ames, Associate AI Analyst, at Columbia University Information Technology (CUIT) Emerging Technologies.
Through a live demo, we’ll cover beginner to intermediate use cases. Whether you’re experimenting with AI in research, teaching, or administration, you’ll see how to leverage these systems responsibly within the university’s trusted framework.
