“It’s incredibly hard to recognize whether you are being manipulated by computer-generated media that is not real and doesn’t reflect anything that was ever said or ever happened” Nithyanand showed how easy it was to use other forms of AI such as Chat GPT to make up stories and make them look like they were written for national media sites.

Current IGPI student Rachel Shrode has been honored with the National Institutes of Health F31 Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Award to support her studies in bioinformatics and computational biology. The award provides predoctoral students with mentored training in health-related fields to aid them in their dissertation research.

The University of Iowa Computer Science Department invites applications for applications for multiple tenure- and instructional-track positions effective August 2024.

The projects, entitled "Towards A Unified Memory-centric Computing System with Cross-layer Support" and "A Fine-Grained Hierarchical Memory Management System for Applications with Dynamic Memory Demand on GPUs" aim to address the memory performance bottleneck for data-centric applications and develop a new memory management system to facilitate the development of dynamic-memory applications on GPUs, respectively.
