What we’re about
Welcome to AI Meetup Copenhagen. This is a multidisciplinary community and meetup for innovators, creators, and techies who are passionate about learning and talking about artificial intelligence.
The focus of the group is our quarterly meetups in Copenhagen. Join us for talks and demos, and to network and share ideas with nice people with diverse skills.
We will explore cutting-edge AI technologies and tools, as well as creative use cases and business ideas, so whether you're a seasoned expert or starting to dive deeper into the world of AI, this meetup is the perfect place to learn, connect, and collaborate.
Let's come together and learn more about AI:
* Interesting speakers & talks
* Tools, demonstrations, tips & tricks
* Creative use cases & innovation
* Business applications & starts-ups
* Future perspectives
[Please note]: Data scientists, AI developers and AI/ML researchers are more than welcome to join, of course, but PLEASE NOTE that other groups are better suited for you if your main goal is to learn more about Python code and discuss "highly technical" AI perspectives and methods with your peers :-)
Please note that due to the popularity of the group, we are prioritizing new members with professional backgrounds in areas such as technology, design, leadership, or academia. This helps us ensure that the conversations and the events remain highly relevant and valuable for everyone involved.
If you are just starting out with AI, beginner-friendly events on Meetup.com or LinkedIn, as well as tutorials on YouTube, can be a great way to build a foundation before joining more specialized groups like ours.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,

SPEAKER BIOS & TOPICS:
Thomas Bolander, PhD, is a professor at DTU Compute. His main research focus is on the modelling of social phenomena and social intelligence with the aim of creating explainable computer systems that can interact robustly and intelligently with humans and other computer systems.
He is one of the founders and main researchers within the area of Epistemic Planning - providing AI agents, e.g. robots, with the ability to take the perspective of other agents into account when planning.
He is also one of the central public communicators of AI in Denmark with several hundreds of popular science talks and media appearances. In 2019, he received the H.C. Ørsted award for excellence in science communication. Thomas has also served on a number of commissions and think tanks working on the societal aspects of digitalisation and AI (including the SIRI commission, the TechDK commission, the Tiger Council, and the Governmental Expert Group on Tech Giants). In 2024, he received the DAIR "Lifetime achievement in AI" award for his research and research communication.
Topic: Intentions, attention and social intelligence. Human social intelligence relies heavily on our ability to infer what others intend to do or what their focus of attention is. Fluent human-robot interaction requires robots to have similar abilities. But how to give them that? What are the relevant paradigms and methods within AI, and what can we learn from philosophy and cognitive psychology to help us built more socially intelligent and situation-aware robots for the future?
Ananth Gopal, leads a data & AI team in Nilfisk's "Autonomous & Digital Solutions" division.
He earned his PhD in computing applied to robotics, and has since worked in roles across both academia and industry. His current interests lie in applying vision-language models and reinforcement learning to control robots.
Topic: "Teaching Robots to Learn: A Live Reinforcement Learning Demo"
