About the Speaker<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wray Buntine<\/strong> is a full professor and Director of Computer Science at VinUniversity in Hanoi from December 2021 after 8 years at Monash University where he was Director of Machine Learning and founding director of the Master of Data Science. \u00a0He was previously at Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, NASA Ames Research Center, University of California, Berkeley, and Google.<\/p>\n

He is known for his theoretical and applied work and in probabilistic methods for document and text analysis, social networks, data mining and machine learning and medical informatics. \u00a0He is co-editor-in-chief for the ACM Transactions on Probabilistic Machine Learning, is on several other journal editorial boards and has been senior programme committee member for premier conferences in AI, Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning.<\/p>\n

Seminar Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

This seminar explores the transformative potential of Generative AI across research, education, and professional practice. Building on insights from the Spring seminar course “Big Ideas: AI and the Knowledge Revolution”<\/em>, the session will examine how emerging AI technologies\u2014particularly chatbots\u2014are reshaping knowledge systems in fields critical to VinUniversity, including Computer Science, Engineering, and Medicine.<\/p>\n

Participants will gain a foundational understanding of current chatbot capabilities and limitations, as well as the role of physics-based models in advancing intelligent robotics. The talk will also present forward-looking use cases and future trajectories for chatbot development, emphasizing their impact on STEM and healthcare education.<\/p>\n

By exploring practical and educational scenarios, the seminar invites critical reflection on how universities must evolve in a future where knowledge is increasingly commodified by general-purpose AI.<\/p>\n
