Penn Engineering AI

Penn Engineering AI students are picking sides. Which side are you on? 👀 #PennEngineering #ArtificialIntelligence

In @nytimes, Professor @Lee_BenjaminC (@ESEatPenn, @cis_penn) explains how AI training workloads are distributed across thousands of chips working in parallel, and why the growing scale of generative AI is making models increasingly expensive to train.

Penn Engineering researchers used AI to analyze @Reddit posts about gray-market formulations of the unapproved GLP-1 drug retatrutide, identifying self-reported symptoms that may warrant further study. #GLP1

Penn Engineering and Penn Medicine researchers developed an AI platform that lets patients communicate with medical devices in real time, receive personalized alerts and help improve seizure detection. #AIResearch #HealthcareInnovation

Penn Engineering researchers are using Betty, a supercomputer built on @NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD technology, to train larger AI models, accelerate robotics experiments and support research across disciplines. #AIResearch #PennEngineeringProud

For Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Linh Thi Xuan Phan, @PennEngineers professor in @cis_penn, explains how AI and other emerging technologies could reshape cybersecurity for spacecraft and satellite networks. #AIResearch #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth

Alexandra Oh, a graduate of Penn Engineering's inaugural B.S.E. in AI program, returned to campus for an Alumni Spotlight, sharing insights on her academic journey, internships and career opportunities. #PennEngineeringProud #AIStudents

As AI moves into robots, cybersecurity is key. A new @IEEESpectrum feature outlines three layers of risk and highlights @PennEngineers research on RoboPAIR. #PhysicalAI #AIRobotics

Penn Engineering doctoral students and researchers at the AWS ASSET Center Symposium take on a 10-second challenge: explaining what their research can help accomplish. #ArtificialIntelligence #LLMs

AI’s growing computing demands are putting new pressure on the power grid. @PennEngineers Professor @Lee_BenjaminC (@ESEatPenn, @cis_penn) explains the energy demands behind AI data centers in @PhillyInquirer. #ArtificialIntelligence #DataCenters

A new study examines how ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude respond to political and public policy questions. @PennEngineers @cis_penn Professor Chris Callison-Burch spoke with @6abc about the findings and how personalization can shape AI responses.

In a new episode of An Educated Guest, @PennEngineers Dean Vijay Kumar discusses what it means to live and learn in the era of AI. #ArtificialIntelligence #HigherEducation

Melanie Herbert (EE’25, GEng’26), founder of AI health startup Sync Labs, is featured by @CBSNews in a story on Gen Z entrepreneurship. #PennEngineeringProud #AIEntrepreneurship

Researchers at @PennEngineers and @KennedyKrieger developed CAMI-2DNet, an AI-powered computer vision system that uses ordinary video to assess motor imitation, helping make autism screening more accessible. #AIResearch #AutismResearch

RT @PennEngineers: Penn Engineering researchers have developed PeptiVerse, an open-source AI platform that could help identify promising peptide drug candidates earlier in the discovery process. Published in @NatureComms, the platform predicts key drug properties before lab testing, helping researchers focus on the most promising candidates. @PennEngAI @CIS_Penn @pennbioeng

Penn researchers developed a low-cost AI system to help Sierra Leone forecast demand for essential medicines. Following a pilot, the government expanded the system nationwide, where it now supports allocation decisions for more than 70 medical products.

AI chatbots may help parents feel more willing to vaccinate their children against HPV, but a new Penn-led study found they did not outperform written materials from public health agencies like the @CDCgov. #AIandMedicine #AIandHealth

RT @PennEngineers: Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna joins Vijay Kumar in episode 12 of Penn Engineering’s Innovation & Impact podcast to discuss electric vehicles, innovation leadership and balancing new technologies with Ferrari’s legacy of performance and design.

AI Month at Penn 2026 featured more than 20 @PennEngineers events exploring AI across robotics, medicine, research and entrepreneurship. Check out highlights from this year’s AI Month:
