Hosted by Equity and Access in Algorithm, Mechanism, and Optimization (EAAMO), RDS@Pitt, and PSU RAISE Lab, this two-day interactive workshop at the 2025 ACM EAAMO Conference will explore how values are translated into metrics across areas such as AI procurement, social indicators, and responsible research.
This week we’re celebrating our community's reach including posters showcasing responsible data science in action shared during the Undergraduate Research & Creative Expression Fair, the GenAI Teaching & Learning conference keynote panel discussion and posters on practical classroom uses of generative AI. Were also gearing up for an EAAMO “Principles & Performance” makerspace—an interactive session to test ideas, build lightweight prototypes, and turn values into measurable practice.

The Center for Creativity partnered with RDS@Pitt for Data Science Day 2025 to create a hands-on art installation encapsulating people’s emotions and feelings about AI throughout the conference.
The Center for Creativity (C4C) is an inspiring space that encourages bold exploration, boundary-pushing, and the joy of making, all grounded in connection and imagination.
During Data Science Day 2025, RDS@Pitt, the School of Computing and Information, and the College of Business Administration hosted a Solution Sprints Advisory Board Roundtable. This activity brought together students, staff, faculty, and industry professionals for fast-paced, collaborative work sessions centered on real-world applications of responsible data science, actionable insights, and networking.
In March, the University of Pittsburgh hosted its second annual Data Science Day, bringing together students, faculty and industry leaders to discuss the future of responsible data science and ethical AI.
University of Pittsburgh’s Data Science Day 2025 is excited to welcome Dr. Joseph T. Yun as a keynote speaker.
Dr. Yun, an artificial intelligence and innovation architect, also serves as a research professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Swanson School of Engineering.
Universities have long been places of tradition, yet their resilience comes from an inherent ability to evolve. As artificial intelligence (AI) and data science continue to reshape industries, research, and education, institutions must ask: How can we harness the power of AI responsibly while fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration to drive institutional innovation?
At Data Science Day 2025, students have the opportunity to present their research, showcase innovative applications of data science and AI, and engage with experts across disciplines.
But beyond gaining valuable experience and networking, there is also an exciting opportunity to compete for a poster prize.
This year, RDS@Pitt is awarding a $250 prize for an outstanding student poster that demonstrates excellence in responsible data science.
Student research is at the heart of innovation in responsible data science. At RDS@Pitt, we recognize the importance of equipping students with the tools, ethical considerations, and real-world applications necessary to make an impact.
One of the best ways to showcase student-led research is through poster presentations, where scholars can share their insights, receive valuable feedback, and connect with experts across disciplines.
