Innovation on Display

It’s nearly impossible to read the news or scroll through social media without encountering the latest developments in artificial intelligence. Like the steam-powered engine, lightbulb and World Wide Web that came before it, AI is changing the world as we know it – and fast.

For companies eager to incorporate these leading-edge technologies into their products or services, navigating the pace of change can feel daunting. That’s where the Stevens Institute of Technology School of Business comes in. We are training graduates who can fill these gaps and provide expert guidance and recommendations to solve problems and uncover new opportunities.

Industry leaders had the chance to experience this first-hand during the annual “Business Transformation Using Analytics and AI” expo held in the Babbio Center Atrium on Stevens’ Hoboken campus. Graduating Business Intelligence & Analytics and Information Systems graduate students showcased their research and provided live demonstrations to participants. Some of the research topics included:

• AI voice assistants for seniors

• AI-generated stock market predictions

• Air quality forecasting

• Automating financial reporting

• Optimizing public Wi-Fi-usage

• Pharmaceutical sales

• Predicting micro and macro economies

In addition to the student showcase, the event also featured a keynote from Teaching Professor Alkiviadis Vazacopoulos, who discussed the “Transforming Education with AI” to underscore how the School of Business prepares students to meet current and future workplace demands.

Each year, this event is a great demonstration of how students participate in hands-on, real-world projects that help them hone their problem-solving and collaboration skills so they are equipped to deliver an impact.
