- **Event Description**: Join us in Boston for the 4th Annual Boston College Analytics and Industry Symposium—insights, networking, and fun!About this EventArtificial intelligence is transforming every dimension of society—how we work, learn, govern, conduct research, ensure security, and navigate daily life. As AI accelerates innovation and opportunity, it also raises a fundamental question: where do people fit in this emerging ecosystem? Will AI pull humanity forward by amplifying human potential, or will it leave many behind—deepening existing inequities and creating new divides?This symposium explores the future we are collectively shaping at the intersection of technology and humanity. Through keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive dialogue, participants will examine both the promise and the peril of AI: its capacity to expand human potential, improve global well-being, and drive scientific discovery, alongside the risks of workforce displacement, inequity, misinformation, and geopolitical tension.Bringing together leaders from industry, academia, public policy, and civil society, the event fosters a balanced, human-centered conversation on emerging developments, real-world applications, and responsible innovation. The goal is not only to understand where AI is headed, but to identify actionable strategies that ensure its benefits are broadly shared—not confined to the technologically privileged.Ultimately, this symposium invites participants to reflect on the values, governance frameworks, and collaborative approaches required to build a future in which AI strengthens human dignity, opportunity, and resilience.The central question of our era remains:Will AI be a force that unites and uplifts, or one that fractures and divides?The answer depends on the choices we make today.March 19, 2026?: 08:30 AM - 09:00 AMRegistration and Breakfast?: 09:00 AM - 10:00 AMOpening Remarks?: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AMKeynote?: 11:00 AM - 11:15 AMBreak/MSAA and MSAE Student Poster Presentation?: 11:15 AM - 12:15 PMTalent Management &amp; AI: From Sourcing to EvaluationInfo: Artificial intelligence is reshaping the modern workplace, influencing every stage of the employee lifecycle—from candidate sourcing and hiring to performance evaluation and ongoing management. This panel will explore how AI is changing who gets hired, how decisions are made, and how work is managed inside organizations.
Panelists will examine AI’s growing role in connecting people with opportunities, scaling and standardizing interview and evaluation processes, and transforming day-to-day HR operations. We will discuss where these tools add value, where they fall short, and what risks they introduce—particularly around bias, transparency, and accountability.
This conversation is not only about organizational efficiency; it is about people. The panel will conclude by focusing on the implications for job seekers and employees, offering insights into how individuals can better understand, adapt to, and navigate AI-driven hiring and mana?: 12:15 PM - 01:30 PMLunch?: 12:30 PM - 01:30 PMKeynote?: 01:30 PM - 01:45 PMBreak/MSAA and MSAE Student Poster Presentation?: 01:45 PM - 02:45 PMAI World Order: Diplomatic, Informational, Militaristic,and Economic DimensionInfo: Artificial intelligence is rapidly emerging as a defining force in global power structures, reshaping international relations, economic competition, security strategies, and the global information environment. This panel examines the rise of an “AI World Order” through four interconnected lenses: diplomacy, information, military affairs, and economics.
Panelists will explore how nations are approaching AI governance and international norms, the risks and realities of AI-enabled information warfare, the accelerating militarization of autonomous and decision-support systems, and the intensifying global race for technological and economic advantage. The conversation will address how these dynamics are altering alliances, deterrence, and international influence.
The discussion will highlight both the opportunities for international cooperation and coordination and the dangers of unchecked technological rivalry?: 02:45 PM - 03:00 PMBreak/MSAA and MSAE Student Poster Presentation?: 03:00 PM - 04:00 PMKeynote ?: 04:00 PM - 04:10 PMBreak?: 04:10 PM - 05:10 PMAI in Applied Research: Promises and PitfallsInfo: AI is accelerating breakthroughs across scientific and applied research, from drug discovery and climate modeling to engineering and policy analysis. But alongside its promise come complex challenges—ensuring accuracy and reproducibility, addressing data bias, navigating ethical dilemmas, and keeping up with the rapidly expanding body of scientific literature on any given topic. This panel brings together applied researchers and technologists to examine how AI is transforming research efforts, where it is helping and where it is not, and how researchers can leverage powerful new tools without compromising scientific rigor.  Join us for a candid discussion on the future of discovery in an AI-driven era and a showcase of some interesting solutions in this space.?: 05:10 PM - 05:30 PMClosing Remarks/Poster Judging/Reception
