The following color-coded campus status levels have been developed to simplify communication regarding the current circumstances on and around the Morningside campus. The campus status level is based upon the potential disruption to our academic mission and/or campus operations. The status level will be adjusted up or down to reflect then-current circumstances, including information received from law enforcement and other sources regarding potential events that could affect Columbia. Continued adherence to university rules and policies remains fundamental to maintaining an open campus. Read more.

Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs for a series of discussions on how the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the energy sector can advance the discovery of new technologies, aid in the prediction of successful energy-related systems, and optimize operations.
The first AI forum will feature a global expert leading the development of AI for scientific discovery, including for energy.
Historically, researchers have developed technologies by estimating which materials and designs were potentially the most promising from previous laboratory testing and advancing those to the laboratory experimentation stage. Thomas Edison, for example, tested over one thousand types of filaments in his lab before he found one that worked effectively for the first light bulb.
Today, scientific discovery of new technologies can be significantly accelerated by the use of AI and high-performance computers. AI can process data to guide researchers to higher likelihood options before taking efforts to the lab experimentation stage, significantly reducing the cost and time to discovery for a new technology. This methodology was successfully used by the U.S. National Laboratories in the development of COVID-19 vaccines and therapies, which significantly reduced the time and risk of developing those drugs.
