Engineering Dean's Invited Speaker Series featuring Jaime Teevan '98

We've recently lived through what has felt like a series of disruptive shifts: cloud, remote work, and now AI. But these aren't isolated moments; they're chapters in a single story about how technology reshapes collaboration. Today, most AI systems are optimized for individuals, yet the most meaningful work we do is shared, messy, and collaborative. 

Please join Jaime Teevan '98, Chief Scientist and Technical Fellow at Microsoft, for a talk that explores how AI can evolve to support that reality through AI native processes, new knowledge artifacts, and socially intelligent models designed for group work. The future of work isn't about using AI to produce more on our own. To unlock the true potential of AI, we must use it to help teams and organizations work better together.
