Agenda

2:30–3:00: Arrival and reception, poster sessions 

3:00-3:10: Opening remarks 

3:10–4:00

• Facilities Design & Construction: integrating an AI chatbot for PM Checklists/Resources and Design & Construction Standards, aimed at improving compliance, streamlining processes, and fostering dynamic feedback to enhance the quality and efficiency of design and construction practices at Cornell.
• AI Powered Faculty Search: enhance faculty matching within a college, making it more efficient and accessible by overcoming the limitations of keyword-based search and manual data handling.
• Student Advising: synthesize meeting notes from various sources to help faculty advise undergraduate students more effectively. 
• AI In the Classroom: Make lectures with hundreds of students feel personal for both students and faculty, produce effective assessments for course student populations for instructors, and measure program effectiveness and learning outcomes at eCornell.

4:00–4:55

• Reconciliation and Transaction Review: streamline a methodical review process, reduce administrative workload, and focus resources on transactions that truly need scrutiny. 
• Clinical Rotation Feedback: enhance the quality of feedback and improve students' educational experience, ultimately increasing their readiness for professional veterinary roles. 
• Travel Reimbursement: reduce the turnaround time for travel reimbursement requests. 
• Standardize Purchasing Reports: use LLMs to automatically take purchases made from different sources (KFS, Pcard, SAP, etc), and correctly aggregate the expenses to simplify cost analysis.

4:55-5:00  

• Closing remarks 
• Announcing Spring cohort experiments  

More than a celebration of what the collaborators in the AI Innovation Lab have accomplished over the fall semester, Demo Days should also inspire you to think about how AI can serve as a tool for your problems and projects. Students interested in participating in the spring semester projects can speak to their peers about their experiences and learn how to join the Lab this spring.

Come explore how Generative AI at Cornell can unlock new possibilities for you!
