Joseph Engler, developer of Collins Aerospace’s artificial intelligence “Alison,” is staying at the Cedar Rapids Public Library.
CEDAR RAPIDS — The public is invited to a presentation on artificial intelligence by Collins aerospace scientist Thursday at the Cedar Rapids Public Library.
Joseph Engler, pr. Technical Fellow and Chief Artificial Intelligence Scientist at Collins Aerospace, is the creator of the Collins Aerospace Enterprise AI named Allison and is responsible for the direction of the Allison AI Lab, which includes research and development, product generation, and AI services. I’m in charge.
Mr. Engler will speak at the Downtown Library’s Whipple Auditorium, 450 Fifth Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, on Thursday, Oct. 19, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. He will talk about what artificial intelligence (AI) is, its current and future impact, and then take questions from the audience. The event is free and open to the public.
“Artificial intelligence has been a hot topic in the media over the last year, but there has also been a lot of hype and misconceptions surrounding it. In this talk, we will explore what AI actually is and how it can help us We’re going to talk about how it impacts your life directly and indirectly,” Engler said in a news release.
Engler earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and computer science from Francisco University in 2004, a master’s degree in industrial engineering from the University of Iowa in 2009, and a doctorate in industrial engineering from the UI in 2011. He is a multiple peer author. He has reviewed papers and holds 13 patents and his 16 trade secrets.
Prior to joining Collins Aerospace, Engler was an associate research scientist in the UI Operator Performance Laboratory, where he developed several new machine learning algorithms for classifying human physiology.
He has conducted research in association with several large research interests, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Santa Fe Laboratory. His current research focuses on fractal learning in artificial systems, and his research interests include artificial general intelligence, complex adaptive systems, and chaos science.
