What was the inspiration to start it?

We want our member companies to understand, evaluate and implement Data Analytics & Machine Learning technology. However, there is a lot of hype associated with AI, and the industry is struggling to understand where AI fits in with their business model.

What exciting things can people look forward to?

• CeADAR & Industry experts Oisín Boydell (CeADAR) & Seán Kearney, (AIB)
• “AI in Business”
• AI Hype vs Real Industry Application
• Common Machine Learning Tasks (classification, regression etc.) and how to map these to industry applications
• Industry Use Cases
• A discussion of some of the non-technical challenges in applying these approaches e.g. explainability, trust etc.
• Seán Kearney, Research and Innovation Team, AIB
