DESCRIPTION:Hello everyone! 🌟\n\nJoin the IEEE Columbus Section Women in
  Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group as we celebrate IEEE WIE Day 2026—a gl
 obal initiative recognizing the achievements of women in engineering while
  fostering innovation\, collaboration\, and professional growth.\n\nFeatur

 out the physical hardware that makes Artificial Intelligence possible?\n\n
 In this engaging session\, Aakriti Barat\, a doctoral researcher at Ohio U
 niversity\, explores the often-overlooked world of hardware security. Draw
 ing from her research on Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs)\, she explai
 ns how every AI chip is created with a unique &quot;silicon fingerprint&quot; formed
  by natural variations during the manufacturing process.\n\nDiscover how t
 hese unique fingerprints can serve as a Digital DNA for electronic devices
 —enabling authentication\, detecting tampering\, and strengthening trust
  in AI systems. The session will highlight why securing hardware is becomi
 ng a critical foundation for trustworthy AI and why the future of AI secur
 ity begins at the silicon level.\n\nMeeting link:https://ieeemeetings.webe
