A revealing conversation: “AI, are you here?”

9 October, 2022 News

When you come across “artificial intelligence” (AI), you think it has nothing to do with your everyday life. But if you think about it more thoroughly, it is used more often than you think.

The field of AI is interesting and is, if not the Present yet, certainly the Future. In the discussion that will take place at the Athens Science Festival with the title “AI, are you here?”, which will be moderated by the journalist Yiannis Rizopoulos, they will try to outline the “next day” as well as the socio-economic impact of AI.

Artificial Intelligence or -more precisely- the much wider ecosystem under or near its “umbrella” is already playing a significant role in our everyday activities. Exploiting Machine Learning, Robotics and Automation, Big Data and Analytics, etc. it is “up-scaling” life quality in many ways.

Multi-targeted AI relieves us from all Dull, Dangerous and Dirty jobs and provides instant help for much better decision-making, on almost everything. Face ID on devices, the content of advertisements or news that will appear to each user according to their preferences, the voice command and much more that you do not identify at a first.

This session’s aspiration is to present some use cases and best practices for both enterprises and citizens-final users, applications that are either already in use or just knocking on our “door”, ready to enter our lives.

The enterprises taking part in this session and presenting different AI applications, are Gerobo (Gerasimos Gerolymatos), Sleed (Kleanthis Roumeliotis), Quadible (Niklas Palaghias) and Magos (Greg Agriopoulos), while on behalf of consortia working on European research projects, there will be representatives from Shapes (Vassilis Giannakopoulos), Bridges (Nikos Achilleopoulos) και Bacchus (Dimitris Papageorgiou). The session will be moderated by journalist Yannis Rizopoulos, who will also have a “fireside chat” with Guest Star, Special Secretary for Strategic Foresight at Presidency of the Government of the Hellenic Republic, Yannis Mastrogeorgiou.
