About This Workshop: The bar for what AI-powered agents can do has been steadily rising over the past few years, and new innovations allow them to not only engage in conversations but also utilize tools, conduct research, and execute on complex objectives at scale. This course empowers you to develop sophisticated agent systems that can execute on deep thought, research, software calling, and distributed operation. Throughout the course, you'll gain hands-on experience in designing agents that efficiently retrieve and refine information, intelligently route queries, and execute tasks concurrently using orchestration tools like LangGraph and sound software engineering practices. By the end of the course, you will have a solid foundation in agent architectures and will be able to construct interesting agent-like integrations to complement your existing workflows and software stacks. ​ Course Concepts:​Fundamentals of Agent Abstraction and LLMs ​Structured Output and Basic Fulfillment Mechanisms ​Retrieval Mechanisms and Environmental Tooling ​Multi-Agent Systems and Frameworks ​Final Assessment ​Optional: Real-Time Agents ​Prerequisites:​Introductory deep learning knowledge (including attention mechanisms and transformers). Experience from DLI’s Getting Started with Deep Learning or Fundamentals of Deep Learning is preferred. ​Intermediate Python proficiency (including object-oriented programming and familiarity with ML libraries). Tutorials like Python Tutorial (w3schools.com) or equivalent practical experience suffice.

Indigenous Art Market & Festival

Natural History Museum of Utah (NHMU) · Natural History Museum of Utah (NHMU)

Since its inception in 2013, NHMU’s Indigenous Art Market & Festival has grown into a cherished annual tradition—one that draws some of the nation’s most gifted Native American artists to Salt Lake City. Over the years, artists from more than 25 tribes have shared their stories, heritage, and artistry, creating a rich tapestry of traditional and contemporary Indigenous expression at the Museum. Visitors are invited to explore and purchase one-of-a-kind works—from intricate beadwork and handwoven textiles to masterfully crafted pottery, jewelry, and paintings. But this event is more than a market; it’s a chance to connect with living traditions, to hear directly from artists who are not only creating breathtaking art but also preserving and passing on cultural knowledge.

Literature and Healthcare Discussion Group: Personhood

Zoom · Zoom

Campus Locations: Zoom Colleges & Programs: Health Sciences Programs Departments: Center for Health Ethics, Arts, and Humanities Full Description: Our October Literature and Healthcare Discussion will feature: Personhood: The New Civil War over Reproduction by Mary Ziegler Meeting Details Wednesday, October 14, 2026 6:00-7:30 PM MST Virtual Event: Click here to register CME Code: 81590 (Approved for 1.5 CME credit hours) Facilitated by Hailey Haffey, PhD: In Personhood: The New Civil War over Reproduction, Mary Ziegler analyzes the cultural and legal mechanics that led to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning its 1973 decision supporting abortion rights in Roe v. Wade nearly fifty years later in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Here, Ziegler examines the relationship of the court’s 2022 overturning of Roe in Dobbs to the broader anti-abortion movement and argues that apart from challenging the legality of abortion as a medical practice, the motivating legal goal for contemporary abortion opponents is the designation of a fetus’s individual autonomy—or personhood—in the context of constitutional rights. This question of fetal personhood as qualification for constitutional rights from conception forward is thus the more fundamental aim of the political movement against abortion. Ziegler shows how recognizing this shift in perspective on rights is necessary to understand the anti-abortion movement’s nuanced legal and political goals associated with fetal personhood that are still being pursued independent of the Dobbs decision. Further, Ziegler explores how the intersection of fetal personhood and constitutional rights has complex implications, as she explains, “if we understand personhood to be more than a shorthand for banning abortion, we can recognize that personhood is fundamentally a claim about equality in the United States, one with stakes beyond abortion.” Accordingly, conflicts over interpretations of equality and civil rights are central to this discussion.

Humanity AI $10M Open Call: Applications Due by 6 PM

Zoom · Zoom

Humanity AI’s new $10 million Open Call, which invites U.S.-based organizations (including universities) to apply for funding that supports communities’ collective power to shape how AI is built, governed, and used. The Open Call will provide grants of $75,000 to $1 million for up to three years for community-led efforts focused on: Education: Shaping AI around the best interests of students, educators, and communities. Labor and economy: Ensuring AI enhances, rather than replaces, workers and contributes to an economy in which people can thrive. Humanities, arts, and culture: Enhancing human creativity and understanding while protecting the work of artists and creators. Within these areas, proposed projects should take one or more of three approaches: shaping how AI is governed and used; building AI on community terms; or challenging AI that does not serve communities. Humanity AI is particularly interested in efforts where those most affected by AI are defining the goals, shaping the approach, and driving the work. Projects focused primarily on AI literacy, encouraging adoption of AI tools, or research without a meaningful community leadership and action component are outside the scope of the call. A central emphasis of the call is community-led work, meaning that those most affected by technological changes are defining the goals, shaping the approach, and driving the work. Depending on the issue area, this could include students and educators, workers, artists, writers, scholars, cultural heritage workers, and organizations representing these communities. Initial applications are due October 21, 2026, by 6 pm MT. Please contact Lynn Wong or Jenna Taylor if you have any questions or if you are interested in applying to this opportunity.

The 41st Annual Jefferson B. Fordham Debate - Presidential Power and Independent Agencies: Who Controls the Executive Branch?

Quinney College of Law - S. J. (LAW) · Quinney College of Law - S. J. (LAW)

“The Constitution does not authorize Congress to create independent officers or agencies that exercise executive power.” For more than a century, Congress has created independent agencies designed to operate with some independence from presidential control, including through statutory limits on the President’s power to remove their leaders. These agencies exercise substantial authority over areas such as labor, communications, securities, consumer protection, and monetary policy. But the Constitution vests executive power in the President and requires the President to ensure that federal law is faithfully executed. How much control must the President have over officials who exercise executive power? Supporters of strong presidential control argue that officials who exercise executive power must remain accountable to the President and cannot be insulated from presidential supervision. Critics argue that the Constitution allows Congress to create independent officers and agencies, and that complete presidential control is neither required by the Constitution nor consistent with the nation’s history. The Supreme Court brought new urgency to this longstanding debate in 2026 with major decisions addressing presidential power over independent agencies. Those decisions strengthened presidential control in some contexts while leaving important questions about the scope and limits of that authority unresolved. What does the Constitution require, and how much independence may Congress give to federal officers and agencies?

Frontiers of Science Lecture featuring Martin Chalfie

Alumni House - Eccles (ALUMNI) · Alumni House - Eccles (ALUMNI)

Martin Chalfie, University Professor and former chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University. Full bio: https://chalfielab.biology.columbia.edu/people/martin-chalfie In 1939, the first director of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Abraham Flexner, wrote an article in Harper's Magazine titled "The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge." Flexner questioned whether our idea of usefulness had become too narrow for the wide-ranging, unpredictable nature of human curiosity, arguing that real discovery happens when scientists are free to explore without needing to justify usefulness in advance. Several Nobel Prizes have gone to discoveries that emerged sideways from what researchers originally set out to study. Chalfie will argue that "useless knowledge" is as necessary today as ever for improving human health and well-being, and will offer thoughts on how we can create space for the unexpected discoveries that drive future scientific breakthroughs.

ENABLERS: Normalizing the Unimaginable - Legal Accountability and Professional Responsibility

Quinney College of Law - S. J. (LAW) · Quinney College of Law - S. J. (LAW)

“The Constitution does not authorize Congress to create independent officers or agencies that exercise executive power.” For more than a century, Congress has created independent agencies designed to operate with some independence from presidential control, including through statutory limits on the President’s power to remove their leaders. These agencies exercise substantial authority over areas such as labor, communications, securities, consumer protection, and monetary policy. But the Constitution vests executive power in the President and requires the President to ensure that federal law is faithfully executed. How much control must the President have over officials who exercise executive power? Supporters of strong presidential control argue that officials who exercise executive power must remain accountable to the President and cannot be insulated from presidential supervision. Critics argue that the Constitution allows Congress to create independent officers and agencies, and that complete presidential control is neither required by the Constitution nor consistent with the nation’s history. The Supreme Court brought new urgency to this longstanding debate in 2026 with major decisions addressing presidential power over independent agencies. Those decisions strengthened presidential control in some contexts while leaving important questions about the scope and limits of that authority unresolved. What does the Constitution require, and how much independence may Congress give to federal officers and agencies?
