In SCAI, Rakibul Hasan has earned an @NSF CAREER Award for research showing how everyday data can reveal sensitive insights, and how universities can use it responsibly to better support students. news.engineering.asu.edu/2026/05/the-fi…

Was pleased to see @QZeitgeist's recent coverage of @MayorGallego's Phoenix Quantum Strategy. Delighted to lead the program; @ASU and I are more than ready to bring Mayor Gallego's vision to life. #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">quantumzeitgeist.com/quantum-divers…

Here is the recording of a keynote talk I gave at #ICLR2026 UCRL workshop a few days back on the challenges of explainable AI in the era of LLMs. It looks at how LLMs seemingly make some XAI problems go away, while bringing in a new set.. youtube.com/watch?v=sM-0Bk…

To keep Arizona copper miners safe, @SCAI_ASU graduate students worked with Resolution Copper to build a virtual replica of the mine that helps anticipate risks and improve safety: ow.ly/Z4YK50YN9hM

Cyber threats aren’t slowing down, and they’re no longer just human. AI can now find vulnerabilities and generate exploits at scale. A new #SCAI conference, #SynSec, explores how researchers must evolve to keep pace. #ASUEngineering news.engineering.asu.edu/2026/05/when-h…

Today is National Space Day! 🚀 Mars is one of the most mapped worlds beyond Earth, but understanding it is another challenge. SCAI’s Mirali Purohit built an #AI model using 12M images to help scientists analyze the Red Planet at planetary scale. news.asu.edu/20260430-scien…

Naman Ahuja, a computer science master’s student at @ASU, earned an IBM Infrastructure Master’s Fellowship for AI research that turns complex text into reliable, decision-ready tables, helping build systems people can trust in real-world settings. news.asu.edu/20260430-sun-d…

Happy Birthday to Claude Shannon, known by many as the “father of Information Theory.” Shannon was an American mathematician and electrical engineer. In 1948, he published A Mathematical Theory of Communication, which effectively created the field.

The inflection point in AI, the importance of hyper-partnership btw academia + the public/private sectors, & democratizing ideas from everywhere. This is just some of what @IshaniDg & I discussed when I was at @IndiasporaForum. Read the full interview: newindiaabroad.com/english/people…

Celebrating our outstanding grads 🎓 Bhavana Reddy Pasula is helping power @SolarSPELL — named one of @TIME's Best Inventions—expanding access to education worldwide. With mentorship from Laura Hosman and @chrisbryanASU, she’s turning data into real-world impact. news.asu.edu/20260428-sun-d…

Spoke to @FOX10Phoenix yesterday evening about the impact of #AI on college majors.. fox10phoenix.com/news/ai-impact…

Looking forward to meeting friends and colleagues at @UT_Dallas tomorrow at their @UTDJonsson #AI Days (jonssonadr.utdallas.edu/events/ecs-ai-…).. (I will speaking about our work on LLM "Thinking Tokens" and taking part in a panel).

Hello hackers! The first @DEFCONAcademy mentoring session at @DEFCON Singapore is happening NOW! Drop by the DEFCON Academy area and ask us any pressing questions you might have about academic cybersecurity; we'll be here!

At #EACL2026, #PhD student Manan Roy Choudhury, and a team led by @keviv9, introduced CLAUSE — a new benchmark showing LLMs still struggle with legal reasoning. A key step toward more trustworthy AI in law. aclanthology.org/2026.findings-…

Hello hackers! @DEFCONAcademy is LIVE at @DEFCON Singapore! For those who're new to the concept, DEFCON Academy is a first-stage education community. We have laptops, material, and l337 h4X0R mentors standing by to help you learn. Drop by and LEARN TO HACK with us!

Talked to the German Public Broadcasting Service, @dwnews, for their ~20m story on #AI Gold Rush.. (you can hear me in two segments expounding on Jagged Intelligence and the inevitability of hallucinations..) 👉youtube.com/watch?v=c5tdpO… 👉youtube.com/watch?v=c5tdpO…

Speaking in a couple of hours at UCRL workshop #ICLR2026 (2:15pm Rio; Room 209; iclr.cc/virtual/2026/w… )

AI for AZ: @ASU researchers are developing an AI-powered software that will predict disasters before they strike. The technology will help @DEMAArizona save lives, protect infrastructure and efficiently use resources: ow.ly/Ib4350YMUnx

🧵Phoenix is about to make a quantum leap, & I am energized to help lead it. Mayor @KateWGallego announced the Phoenix Quantum Strategy @ her State of the City address this week & asked me to take the lead in building Phoenix into a national quantum hub. news.asu.edu/20260423-scien…

Happy Earth Week! 🌎🌍🌏 Today we released the first-ever global field boundary map in our open Fields of The World ecosystem, led by Taylor Geospatial & partners at Microsoft, @SCAI_ASU, Washington University St Louis, and @NASAHarvest Explore here 🔎 fieldsofthe.world/ftw-inference-…
