“The Geopolitics of Artificial Intelligence”

Over the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved into a core technology of the 21st century with far reaching implications for practically every dimension of human life. This emerging technology has triggered a new global scramble between countries and companies to master AI and either stay at the cutting edge of innovation or try to catch up to the leaders in the field. Intensifying geopolitical struggles between the major world powers such as the USA, China, India or the European Union further fuel the competition for global AI-superiority. Meanwhile, world regions lacking the necessary scientific, technological or financial capabilities could face continuing marginalization. Just as in previous historic phases of rapid technological evolution, AI will be an important factor in the reshuffling of global power relations.

Dr. Stefan Fritsch is an associate professor of International Relations in the Political Science Department at Bowling Green State University where he is also affiliated with the International Studies Program. He received his master’s (2000) and Ph.D. (2005) from the University of Salzburg, Austria. Since he came to BGSU in 2007, he has served twice as director of the school’s Study Abroad Program in Salzburg, Austria.

“Nature Inspired Computing for Engineering Applications”

This talk will focus on various algorithms that have been developed taking inspiration from nature, by observing the natural phenomena such as genetic algorithms, particle Swarm Organization, cuckoo search algorithm, grey wolf algorithm, artificial bee colony, Immunocomputing and their applications in the design of smart power grid management, power scheduling, finding the shortest path for the traveling sales and its other application in path planning.

Dr. Devinder Kaur is a professor and graduate program director in the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Toledo. She obtained Ph.D. in computer engineering from Wayne State University in Detroit in 1989. Her research interests are to develop intelligent engineering applications based on hybrid computational models developed using Nature Inspired Computing and Fuzzy Systems. She has published upwards of 125 papers in refereed journals and proceedings of the international conferences. She has worked on research projects funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Air Force Research Laboratory, Daimler Chrysler and ROMAN Engineering. She is a life member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. She is the recipient of Commonwealth Scholarship, Thomas Rumble Fellowship and Fulbright Senior Specialist award and visited Nippon Institute of Technology Japan in that capacity.
