Artificial Intelligence

Mohamed Gebril is leading a project to enhance threat detection and cybersecurity response mechanisms using generative AI and large language models (LLMs). He aims to automate traditionally manual processes and develop novel methods to detect and mitigate prompt injection attacks, ultimately creating more effective threat detection systems. 

On this episode of Access to Excellence, President Gregory Washington and Amarda Shehu discuss the research possibilities of AI and the role of higher education in AI training and development.

George Mason researcher Carlotta Domeniconi is working with the Department of Homeland Security to leverage machine learning and natural language processing to model—and uncover—human smuggling networks.  

Breakthroughs in George Mason University's Department of Computer Science may result in more effective use of rescue robots.

From degrees in engineering and geoinformation science to her current role as a director in AI and machine learning, Adjunct Professor Aisha Behr brings a wealth of industry experience to the classroom, inspiring students with real-world knowledge and innovative teaching methods. 

A new course combines expertise from several George Mason units. The purpose? To teach the ethics of artificial intelligence. See who is teaching and when the course starts.

Researchers Farrokh Alemi and Kevin Lybarger receive George Mason University’s first Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) award to develop innovative AI technology, including large language models, for improving antidepressant recommendations.

George Mason University is using $1 million from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to enhance emergency response, specifically using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve training and other capabilities of the emergency communication systems in Northern Virginia.

Ashish Hingle’s research examines how students develop an understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) through coursework and activities both inside and outside the classroom. He states, "As we prepare our students to be informed users and developers of algorithms and AI, we must align their learning with their interests." 

George Mason University continues to lead in responsible artificial intelligence, recently hiring two faculty who will work in the university’s cluster on AI, Social Justice, and Public Policy.
