Bryant University’s Second Annual Research Retreat is a day dedicated to exploring the evolving intersections of research, artificial intelligence, and political dynamics. This year’s theme, “Navigating Research within Evolving AI and Political Landscapes,” will guide a series of thought-provoking panels and collaborative discussions.

 Highlights include:

• Panel 1: Censorship, Resource Constraints, and AI Stigma
  This panel explores how censorship, funding limitations, and the stigma surrounding generative AI impact academic freedom and research integrity.

• Panel 2: Scholarship of Application and Community Involvement
  This panel highlights the importance of applying research to real-world challenges through community engagement, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ethical scholarship.

• Panel 3: Engaging Student Researchers in the Age of AI
  This panel examines how to meaningfully involve undergraduate students in research amid the growing influence of generative AI tools.

• Interactive Brainstorming Sessions with faculty and panelists.

The Second Annual Research Retreat offers a valuable opportunity for faculty to come together, share ideas, explore the evolving challenges and possibilities shaping scholarly work today, and strategize for the future of research in a rapidly changing world.
