SUMMARY:Dr. Janet Peters\, Dept of Psychology; Jordan Jobe\, AgAID Institute; Dr. Jan Dasgupta\, Dept of Math and Statistics
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Title: AI in Graduate Education and Research: Opportunities\, Challenges\, and Responsible Use \nAbout the Presenters\n \n  \n  \n  \n \n \n \n \n \nDr. Nairanjana Dasgupta (aka Jan) is a Regents Professor and Chair of Mathematics and Statistics and is a Boeing Distinguished Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences.  She has been at WSU for 30 years and was the founding Director of CISER.  Her current research focuses on understanding uncertainty\, variability\, representation\, and fairness in black box models used in AI/ML and understanding the limitations of these models.  In her time at WSU\, she has advised over 80 graduate students (MS and PhD) and published over 70 papers.  She has been funded in the past by federal (NIST\, NIH\, NSF)\, state (WaSAC\, WaESC) as well as private industries (Amazon\, Boeing). \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJordan Jobe is the Associate Director of the AgAID Institute and a Research Associate Faculty member with the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources at Washington State University. She is also part of a leadership team establishing a Center/Institute for translational research in AI for societal impact\, which will be a system-wide initiative at WSU. With expertise in project and program management\, community engagement\, education\, and workforce development\, she leads initiatives at the intersection of agriculture\, natural resource management\, artificial intelligence\, and emerging technologies. Her work focuses on building partnerships across academia\, industry\, and communities to advance AI-enabled solutions\, workforce development\, and innovation in agriculture\, natural resource systems\, and beyond. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDr. Janet M. Peters received her PhD in Industrial & Organizational Psychology from Colorado State University in 2014. She is currently a scholarly professor of psychology and the Director of the Office for Academic Engagement at Washington State University Tri-Cities\, where she oversees undergraduate programs related to student success in the classroom and faculty teaching development. She teaches Introductory Psychology\, Statistics\, and Research Methods. Her scholarly work focuses on teaching and learning\, as well as professional development for teaching-focused faculty. \nAbstract\nArtificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming graduate education and scientific research\, creating new opportunities while raising important questions about academic integrity\, critical thinking\, and responsible use. This panel discussion will bring together three WSU experts with complementary perspectives to explore the benefits\, challenges\, and ethical considerations of integrating AI into graduate teaching\, learning\, and research. Topics will include appropriate AI use in coursework\, scientific writing\, examinations\, and theses/dissertations; maintaining independent learning and scientif \nic reasoning; and the practical applications and limitations of AI tools in research. The panel will feature brief presentations by the panelists\, followed by an interactive Q&A\, offering students\, faculty\, and staff the opportunity to discuss emerging best practices and expectations for responsible AI use in academia. \nMeeting Information\n\n\n\nMondays at 4:10 p.m. USDA ARS Plant Bioscience Research Building\, room 01B\, Pullman\, WAMeeting ID: 874 8808 0602 Passcode: 3075 \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please do not hesitate to contact Dmitri Mavrodi\, instructor for PL_P 515 in Fall 2026 semester: dmavrodi@wsu.edu.
