Monday, April 13 | Husker AI Days is off and running.
About 30 students packed KH A203 for the "Is It Fake?" Promptathon, an AI image competition inspired by "Is It Cake?" Teams created AI-generated images of fictional campus moments, then everyone voted on which were real and which were AI. The quality of the AI images genuinely surprised the room. Team Magicans won with a classroom scene generated in ChatGPT that fooled nearly everyone. Chaeda took the "Sharpest Eyes" award for best detection.
The Innovation Showcase followed with two standout student projects: Euclides presented his EER UNL Diary 2.0, a desktop app helping PhD students track program milestones, and Amlan demonstrated Weed Vision AI, an automated agricultural image labeling system that processes 120 images per hour (compared to 15-22 manually) using a 10,000-image dataset of Palmer Amaranth.
Tuesday, April 14 | The biggest single day of Husker AI Days.
Google brought a full team to Kiewit Hall for 121 registrants. Hilary Kasel, Arun Reddy, Satish Venugopal, and John Vialpando anchored the day, with solutions team members Byron Ferguson, Jacob Walker, Chandra, and Shatilana Holi running demonstrations and workshops. The day opened with a fireside chat on AI literacy as a graduation requirement and closed with a working dinner at Dish.
