New Arizona State University certificate lets students add AI expertise to any major ‼️ AI is reshaping nearly every industry, and students across all disciplines are looking for ways to build relevant technical skills.

Our new Foundations of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Certificate gives undergraduate students from non-computer science majors the opportunity to gain practical experience in programming, data literacy and AI concepts, while completing a hands-on capstone project they can showcase to future employers.

In this Q&A, Allison Curran, associate director of academic services in , explains how the certificate helps students complement majors ranging from business and communications to health care and engineering with foundational computing and AI knowledge.

🎮🚀 Calling all future game designers and AI creators! 🎮🚀 This summer, SCAI is hosting its Game and AI Camp, where middle and high school students (grades 7–10) will learn how to build their own interactive 2D games using GameMaker, a beginner-friendly game development platform.

Through hands-on activities, campers will design characters, create game mechanics and bring their ideas to life. They’ll also explore cutting-edge AI tools that can generate images, sound effects and music, giving their games a unique creative edge.

📅 June 15–26, 2026
📍 ASU Brickyard Engineering Building, Downtown Tempe

From wearable devices to electronic records, the health care system is generating more data than ever. But much of it remains fragmented and underused.

In SCAI, Bing Si, an associate professor of industrial engineering, is working to change that.

Using artificial intelligence and systems engineering, Si is designing tools that turn complex health data into actionable insights for clinicians. Her work spans everything from automating sleep apnea diagnosis to identifying hidden cardiovascular risks in teens, helping providers catch problems earlier and make more informed decisions.

Rather than focusing on individual data points, Si’s research looks at the bigger picture: how information flows through the health care system and how it can be used more effectively.

The goal is better systems, better decisions and ultimately, better patient outcomes.

What happens when data is accurate but still misleading? At the fourth annual Douglas C. Montgomery Distinguished Lecture, Purdue University’s Yuehwern Yih challenged students and faculty members in SCAI to rethink how data is used in complex systems.

From health care to humanitarian aid, Yih highlighted how gaps between digital records and real-world conditions can lead to flawed decisions, even when the data appears reliable.

Her message: Better outcomes don’t always require more data, but rather better system design and a deeper understanding of how data is collected, interpreted and applied.

ASU Regents Professor and global systems engineering pioneer Douglas C. Montgomery created the lecture series to bring leading experts to ASU, explore the most pressing challenges in industrial engineering and inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.

On stage now:

Convocation speaker: Abhirup Vijay Gunakar

“Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the conquest of fear,” he says.

At ASU, he found that adversity creates strength and encouraged fellow grads to prepare to be leaders.

What can universities really learn from student data and at what cost?

In the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of , Rakibul Hasan, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering, has been awarded a 2026 National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award for work that tackles this question head-on. His research demonstrates how seemingly harmless data can reveal deeply personal insights when analyzed with artificial intelligence.

Now, he’s developing new methods and tools to help universities understand those risks, protect sensitive information and make better decisions about how data is used.

As institutions look for better ways to support students, Hasan’s work is helping ensure data is used as a force for good without compromising privacy.

Cyber threats aren’t slowing down, and they’re no longer just coming from human actors.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, systems are already capable of discovering software vulnerabilities and generating exploits at a speed and scale that traditional defenses can’t match. That shift raises an urgent question: How do we secure systems when the attackers operate autonomously?

A new, first-of-its-kind conference led by Yan Shosh*taishvili and Adam Doupé, both assistant professors of computer science and engineering in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of , is tackling that challenge head-on. This October at the Conference of Synthetic Security Research, or SynSec, experts across industry and academia will converge in Scottsdale, Arizona, to explore what happens when AI becomes part of the research process itself, designing experiments, identifying weaknesses and accelerating discovery.

The goal isn’t to replace human researchers, but to help them keep pace with a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Today is National Space Day! 🚀 Mars is one of the most thoroughly mapped worlds beyond Earth, but understanding it is another challenge entirely.

In , computer science doctoral student Mirali Purohit is helping change that. Working in the Kerner Lab, she developed an artificial intelligence, or AI, model trained on 12 million images of the Red Planet. It brings together data from multiple sensors to help scientists analyze Mars at planetary scale.

Instead of studying small slices of data at a time, researchers can now begin to see patterns across the entire planet, revealing new insights into its geological history and the possibility of past water or life.

The team plans to make both the model and its dataset publicly available, expanding access to planetary science tools worldwide.

As we celebrate National Space Day, this work highlights how AI is opening new frontiers in how we explore and understand our universe.
