Computer Science at Iowa - a video

Computer Science trains you to view problems in a wide variety of settings through a computational lens and approach them algorithmically. Yes, computer programming is often part of this process, but it’s really about the problem solving! If you like puzzles and you are methodical, disciplined, and creative, then a CS Dept major may be right for you.

Daily Iowan: Adhikari in "New artificial intelligence developed for radiology at the UI"

"Bijaya Adhikari said the public has concerns about AI. He said one concern is that AI will impact the quality of patient care, but he said it will not. He said another common concern about AI is that it will replace human labor and cause people to be laid off, but he also does not see this happening. He said AI will complement human expertise and inform healthcare providers of possible next steps in treatment."
