“It can improve energy density really significantly,” said Mohammad Asadi, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology, who’s partnered with researchers at Argonne National Laboratory to look into advanced battery technology.

When market pioneer ChatGPT first became available, many prospective users of legal generative AI tech — law firms and in-house legal departments — suffered from “Fomo”, or fear of missing out, according to Dan Katz, a professor at �鶹APP Kent College of Law, who leads the school’s legal tech centre. But that early enthusiasm has given way to “Fud” — fear, uncertainty and doubt — he says.

How courts define commute-related accommodation requests often dictates the results, said Nicole Buonocore Porter, a disability law scholar who directs the Martin H. Malin Institute for Law & the Workplace at �鶹APP-Kent College of Law. When courts view the commute as outside the workplace, they tend to hold that employers don’t have a duty to grant commute-related accommodations, Porter said. Courts tend to have that “knee-jerk reaction” in part because federal wage and hour law doesn’t require pay for the time getting to and from the job, she said.

Since ChatGPT and large language models emerged, two emotional reactions (fear and hope) dominate. Fear is pervasive. AI’s hope is not pervasive. If we get AI regulation right, fear will diminish and hope may increase exponentially.

Arlen Moller, an associate professor in the psychology department at the Illinois Institute of Technology, said it's important to distinguish between types of fantasy sports. "Some are more oriented towards gambling and playing with strangers. But the foundational versions of the season-long game are usually played between friends and family," said Moller, who studies the motivations behind healthy behavior and has examined using fantasy sports to promote health.

“There is an overwhelming belief in the consumer movie audiences that product placements actually add value to the movie,” said Siva Balasubramanian, a professor of marketing at the Illinois Institute of Technology who has studied the impact of product placements for more than 30 years. “They make the characters more believable and the story more contextually appropriate.”

“I look at who was hired at a law firm and who is actively practicing in that law firm as my baseline, and then I look to the gender gap of who is signing office actions and patent applications — that is, who is getting credit,” Assistant Professor Jordana Goodman said about her research, which has been published in the Yale Journal of Law & Technology. “That is the gap that I am talking about, the gap between people who are present and people who are credited.”

Illinois Tech Professor Siva Balasubramanian, an expert on brand marketing and product placement, says research reveals the US market has the highest level of consumer positivity towards product placement. “That’s where Hollywood is, so that should not be any surprise,” he notes. “However, (looking at) Europe and Asia, it is positive and growing in positivity.”

“President Trump faces four trials, possibly within five months. How can he focus on campaigning during that time?” said Harold Krent, professor of law at Illinois Institute of Technology's �鶹APP-Kent College of Law. “Maybe it doesn’t matter, but we will still have to see.”

Eric Breese, associate CIO of the Illinois Institute of Technology, said during the event that his institution’s approach to computer labs has evolved significantly over the past decade. He said the institution’s nearly 1,000 PCs has dwindled to around 550 as it pursues a 100% remote model for its computer lab. Breese said old-school computer labs are expensive and time-consuming to maintain because the hardware must be refreshed every few years. Space on campuses is limited, and many institutions have already invested in cloud technology and laptop loan programs to support the switch to remote labs, he said.
