Come be our colleague at @Columbia IEOR! Alongside these fantastic applications that Adam mentions, the methodological umbrella of IE & OR spans machine learning, optimization, applied math, and data-driven decisions.
Don't forget to apply, deadline is a couple weeks away. IE/OR is a broad field, if you do things with data applied to energy, healthcare, manufacturing, non-profits, transportation, etc.... apply!

A pleasure to join @EthicsInAI today! Thank you for a very fun discussion exploring the ethical implications of AI systems, biodiversity data, and the capabilities approach. I'd love to see more work exploring how to embed values into AI systems — and then translate to policy.
Lily Xu (Oxford, soon Columbia) @lilyxu0 kicking off our lunchtime research seminars this year with an engaging talk on AI, data, and biodiversity.
