The University of Prince Edward Island is reviving its popular Research on Tap series with a presentation titled “Versatile applications of AI in chemistry and education” on November 16 at 6 pm at The Fox & Crow, W.A. Murphy Student Centre at UPEI.

Dr. Jason Pearson, professor of chemistry at UPEI, will provide a look into the versatile applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in chemistry and education, based on a decade of research. Starting with a broad introduction, he will then highlight how AI can be used to model chemical reactivity and assess the potential of drug molecules, thereby speeding up the discovery process.

He will describe the findings of extensive studies involving thousands of undergraduate students across North America. These studies reveal the ability of AI to offer personalized tutoring, improve writing and critical thinking skills, correct flawed logic in real time, and quicken accurate recall, ultimately enhancing student readiness and performance.

Pearson’s talk is designed for a wide audience curious about the transformative impact of AI on academia and the world. Attendees will gain an understanding of the current state of AI, its various applications, and its potential to shape the future of the world.

All are welcome.
