Students in @Cornell_Bowers’ Rapid Prototyping and Physical Computing course visited the @Sciencenter in Ithaca to demonstrate a laundry grabber, a snowflake maker, a volleyball launcher and other projects. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

What does it mean to train an AI to speak like you? 🤖💬 @Cornell_Tech researcher Tobias Weinberg found that ultra-personalized AI can reshape identity, spark self-censorship, & blur privacy. Ultra-personal AI is powerful—but are we ready for the risks? news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Power up your AI knowledge this summer! 🤖 💻 📶 Available to high school and college students, this new course teaches students from ANY background how AI works and how to use it effectively. Register: bit.ly/4vYOcBq

Cornell researchers have received a seed grant for $250,000 from the @LaudeInstitute to support a five-year “moonshot” project aimed at using artificial intelligence to establish a new foundation for trustworthy AI-mediated communication. #CornellAI news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Exostellar (@exostellar_ai), a startup born from @Cornell research, has achieved a dream outcome – acquisition by a Fortune 500 company. @Qualcomm acquired the eight-year-old company in March. @CornellRsrch @Cornell_Bowers @CornellGrad @revIthaca news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Imagine tapping your thumb and index finger together twice to skip to the next song or clicking around your laptop or desktop computer without a mouse, using discreet finger motions. New first-of-its-kind wearable technology from researchers at Cornell and KAIST, in South Korea, brings that vision closer to reality. The system, called WatchHand, equips off-the-shelf smartwatches with AI-powered micro sonar capable of tracking hand movements. The technology has the potential to revolutionize how we interact with our devices by continuously tracking hand poses in real time using smartwatches and their built-in speaker and microphone, the researchers said. It is the first time AI-powered acoustic sensing for hand-pose tracking has been implemented on off-the-shelf smartwatches without the need for additional hardware. “In the future, with this kind of hand-tracking technology, we might be able to track our typing with just our smartwatch,” said Chi-Jung Lee, a doctoral student in the field of information science in @Cornell_Bowers, and the co-lead author of “WatchHand: Enabling Continuous Hand Pose Tracking On Off-the-Shelf Smartwatches,” which will be presented at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) CHI conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems beginning April 13 in Barcelona. “Our hands can act as an input device with computers,” she said.

Skip songs or control devices with subtle finger taps! 🖐 Cornell & KAIST's AI-powered WatchHand tech transforms smartwatches into real-time hand pose trackers—no extra hardware needed. bowers.cornell.edu/news-stories/s…

Cornell Tech has launched a research collaboration with Mastercard to advance methods for evaluating and auditing generative artificial intelligence systems. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

AI-powered writing tools are increasingly integrated into our e-mails and phones. And now a new study led by researchers at Cornell Bowers and @cornell_tech suggests AI autocomplete can even change the way you think. scientificamerican.com/article/ai-aut…

Applying AI techniques to cardiac ultrasound data may make it easier to identify patients with advanced heart failure, a collaborative study by @WeillCornell, @cornell_tech, Cornell Bowers, Columbia University, and NewYork-Presbyterian has found. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Gilles Brassard, Ph.D. ’79, has received the 2025 A.M. Turing Award from the ACM, jointly with Charles Bennett, for founding the field of quantum information science and for new encryption technology for secure communication and computing. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Artificial intelligence-powered writing tools such as autocomplete suggestions can definitely change the way people express themselves, but can they also change how they think? Cornell researchers think so. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…
