Congratulations to graduating seniors Emily Hong, Asher Labovich, and Joseph Oduro, recipients of the Data Science Institute’s 2026 Senior Awards in Public Service, Research Excellence, and Outstanding Service.

Congratulations to the 2026 graduating students from our Data Science, Computational Biology, and Technological Responsibility programs! Get to know some of our graduating students and the extraordinary contributions they've made during their time at Brown.

Assistant Professor of the Practice Tomo Lazovich’s work focuses on AI governance and policy, bridging technical, legal, and societal perspectives on algorithmic systems. At Brown, they are developing innovative courses and leading research projects that help students and professionals understand the real-world impacts of AI and data-driven decision-making.

Associate Teaching Professor Linda Clark is a pioneer in bringing together data science, education, and policy at Brown. As the Academic Director of DSI’s new online Master’s program in Data Science: Policy, Governance, and Society, she is cultivating a new generation of professionals who handle data through a lens of policy, ethics, and human impact.

No stranger to controversy, AI pioneer Yann LeCun told a capacity crowd that large language models are not the future of AI and that a new approach is needed if machines are to achieve human-like intelligence.

The online portal seeks to make legislation more accessible.

As a tool for researchers, lawmakers, journalists and the public, the CNTR AISLE Portal provides analysis of state- and federal-level AI bills pending across the U.S.

To ensure the Data Science Institute remains at the forefront of interdisciplinary collaboration and the ethical application of Data Science and AI, we are delighted to announce the formation of our External Advisory Board (EAB).

Our annual publication highlights student and faculty achievements, ongoing collaborative research, and innovative programming from the Data Science Institute, Center for Computational Molecular Biology, and Center for Technological Responsibility, Re-imagination, and Redesign.

DSI is pleased to announce the recipients of our 2026 Data Science Seed & Collaborative Grants, whose projects from across the university will stimulate innovation and support education in data-driven fields.
