AI Safety in Healthcare: Ethical and Technical Considerations 
Wednesday, April 15 | 5:00–6:00 p.m. ET 

Featuring: Professor Annika Marie Schoene, Bouvé College of Health Sciences

AI is rapidly becoming a fixture in clinical decision-making, but as adoption accelerates, so do the risks: algorithmic bias, data privacy vulnerabilities, and accountability gaps that existing regulatory frameworks are only beginning to address.

Join professor Schoene for a faculty-led discussion examining the ethical and technical dimensions of AI safety in healthcare: how these systems are designed and evaluated, where they fall short, and what clinicians, technologists, and policymakers must demand to ensure AI serves patients equitably and responsibly.

Lead Faster, Deliver Better: How Agile and AI Are Redefining Project Management
Monday, May 4 | 6:00–7:00 p.m. ET

Featuring: Professor Ernesto Custodio, College of Professional Studies

Agile changed how teams work. Now AI is changing what project managers actually spend their time on, and it's moving faster than most professionals expected. Routine reporting, risk tracking, resource scheduling: More and more of that is being absorbed by tools. So where does that leave the modern project manager?

Join professor Custodio for a candid conversation on what's really happening at the intersection of Agile and AI: the skills and mindsets employers are prioritizing, where a significant talent gap is creating real opportunity, and where hybrid Agile approaches are outpacing Scrum and other traditional methods.
