To address these critical issues, leading researchers and practitioners will convene at AIRET 2025 - The First International Workshop on Agentic Intelligence: Risks, Ethics, and Trust, taking place November 11, 2025, in Pittsburgh. AIRET 2025 will bring together experts from artificial intelligence, philosophy, law, cybersecurity, and policy to examine how agentic AI systems are reshaping the technological and ethical landscape.

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.

Weaving Together Identities and Emotions at Data Science Day 2025 

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.
