The 2024 AAAS Meeting will take place February 15th – 17th in Denver, Colorado. This conference, held annually since AAAS was established in 1848, is dedicated to advancing science and technology across all disciplines and helps bridge the gap between researchers and the public via media coverage of cutting-edge research.
This year, the Computing Community Consortium will sponsor three scientific sessions on various topics in computing:
- Generative AI in Science: Promises and Pitfalls
- Moderator: Matthew Turk (Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago and CCC Council member)
- Panelists: Rebecca Willett (University of Chicago), Markus Buehler (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and Duncan Watson-Parris (University of California San Diego)
- Large Language Models: Helpful Assistants, Romantic Partners, or Con Artists?
- Moderator: Maria Gini (University of Minnesota and previous CCC Council member)
- Panelists: Ece Kamar (Microsoft Research), Jonathan May (University of Southern California), and Hal Daume III (University of Maryland)
- How Big Trends in Computing are Shaping Science
- Moderator: Neil Thompson (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
- Panelists: Jayson Lynch (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Svenja Bergmann (ETH Zurich), and Gabriel Manso (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
These sessions and their descriptions are listed on the CCC website. If you are interested in attending these panels, either in-person or virtually, make sure to register for the 2024 AAAS Meeting. For those unable to attend, keep an eye on the CCC blog for recaps of our scientific sessions.
