Networking the Northern Ireland AI community is the core mandate that drives AINI. This will be achieved through organising events that target a wide range of demographics that include companies, students and academia. Each of these events (Belfast based initially) will be comprise presentations, workshops and panel discussions designed to educate & stimulate discussion but more importantly highlight the amazing Northern Ireland AI community.
All experience levels are welcome, whether you have a PhD or are just starting out, the events organised by AI NI will be catered to ensure you always can learn something new. The intention is not to baffle you with linear algebra but rather inspire and showcase what is possible today if you are interested in AI.
You can contact us through our Twitter page or by contacting any of the organisers. If you are working on something interesting in the space of AI / ML please do get in touch with us and we would be happy to give you a platform to show your work.
AI NI is supported by Kainos, Barclays and Digital Catapult Northern Ireland, they have been key components that have led to the inception of this community.
We are looking forward to engaging with you all 🙂
