Join the Data Science and AI Exchange (DAX)
About DAX
Data Science and AI Exchange (formerly known as Data Science Day) is the flagship annual event at the Data Science Institute. DAX highlights how data science and AI is advancing discoveries across research disciplines, domains, and industry sectors.
First held in 2016, the event brings together hundreds of participants from Columbia, industry, government, and NYC’s technology ecosystem.
About DSI
Columbia University’s Data Science Institute: A strategic nexus where data science and AI converge to shape the future.
The Data Science Institute (DSI) at Columbia University enables interdisciplinary connections in data science and artificial intelligence across the breadth of Columbia’s 4 campuses, 12 schools and 69 departments and divisions. Breakthrough innovations are born at the intersection of disciplines - where subject matter expertise converges with technical progress.
From engineering to medicine, law to chemistry, international policy to journalism, AI is impacting every sector and DSI connects you to the leading researchers shaping the space and the talent to power your organization.
Through DSI your organization can leverage connections across cutting edge research, new technologies, talent, start-ups and more- all at the top research institution in the heart of New York City that generates over 400 new inventions every year.
Our Model for Impact
