Waterloo researchers are renowned for their work that improves societies, economies, technologies and health for humanity. But, like many scholars, they have also experienced aggressive responses to their research.
In an effort to address this hostility, the Faculty of Arts in collaboration with the Office of Research hosted a recent panel discussion as part of their “Antagonism and Intimidation in Academia” series.
- Dec. 1, 2023Cohere hackathon challenges students to use AI to solve pressing problems
In a rapidly evolving world where artificial intelligence is reshaping not only entire industries but the world itself, students need to be prepared to harness this technology to solve pressing issues. With this goal in mind, Cohere and Waterloo.AI sponsored a student-led hackathon that focused on Retrieval Augmented Generation — also known as RAG — at the University of Waterloo’s IDEAs clinic.
- Nov. 29, 2023Partnership with Rogers to revolutionize the landscape of telecommunication and network management
The emergence of 5G technology is transforming telecommunications, granting people and industry remarkable capabilities. With research advancements, in the future we could see 5G offer speeds of up to 20 gigabits per second, far surpassing 4G’s capabilities. This speed not only enables lightning-fast downloads, its low latency, as low as 1 millisecond, is ideal for real-time applications like remote surgery and augmented or virtual reality.
