UCC researchers attend international Artificial Intelligence event in Amsterdam
Researchers from the SFI Centre for Research Training in Artficial Intelligence (CRT AI) attended a unique learning visit to the Amsterdam Science Park, Matrix 1 at the ÉîÒ¹ÑÇÖÞ¸£Àû¾Ã¾Ã of Amsterdam, for a series of lectures from leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) scientists.
Founded in 2019, Amsterdam AI, the ‘Technology for People Group’, is an initiative of Amsterdam universities, research centres, and medical centres that collaborate to work on state-of-the-art AI research programmes, education, practical applications, and public-private partnerships.
CRT AI co-directors, Dr Derek Bridge and Professor Paul Buitelaar, ÉîÒ¹ÑÇÖÞ¸£Àû¾Ã¾Ã of Galway attended along with Professor Suzanne Little, Dublin City ÉîÒ¹ÑÇÖÞ¸£Àû¾Ã¾Ã who presented details of the cohort-based programme.
Forty PhD researchers participated in the inaugural cohort-based, international event and presented their research posters during a luncheon. Lectures were delivered by Professor Gusz Eiben Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) on Evolving Intelligence; Ivo Everts Sr. Strategic Architect Databricks; Dr. Bob Huisman R&D Manager from Nederlandse Spoorwegen passenger railway operator in the Netherlands, discussed the significant gap in trustworthy human-centric AI.
Dr. Iacer Calixto, a professor from the ÉîÒ¹ÑÇÖÞ¸£Àû¾Ã¾Ã Medical Center Department of Medical Informatics at Amsterdam UMC, talked about LLMs in Healthcare, NLP methods for problems in medicine, and psychology.
Dr. Marieke van Erp gave a fascinating and interactive talk on data science and old archives, while Dr. Stefan Schlobach, spoke on knowledge representation and reasoning and knowledge engineering and logic for AI.
The final session included a panel discussion chaired by Dr. Derek Bridge, School of Computer Science and Information Technology, UCC, who chaired the fascinating and incredibly difficult discussion surrounding the social impact of AI. The Amsterdam AI Group's thriving AI ecosystem, accompanied by their research into societal, ethical, and legal aspects of AI, provided our PhD researchers with a glimpse into their unique AI projects and initiatives.
