Digital Cities AI meetup

We have a special event for April as part of the Digital Cities Cardiff event.

PLEASE NOTE a few changes just for this month, as the venue is different for this month only:

• every attendee needs to RSVP individually - no +1 guests

• for security, you will need to give your name at the door - if you're not on the list, you're not getting in

• we have a hard limit of 80 attendees

Now with that out of the way, we have three exciting talks for this special event:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Title: The Use of AI in Broadcasting
Presenter: Iain Tweedale
Level: Introductory

Abstract:
AI is increasingly being used across business to deliver insights and optimisations. One area you may not be aware that this is happening is in broadcasting. This talk will take you through how broadcasters are capitalising on AI to enhance their processes and bolster their output.

Title: Lightning Talk: Sensor-Driven Cities
Presenter: Mohamed Binesmael, MD of Route Konnect, Cardiff
Level: Introductory

Abstract:
Cities are becoming increasingly smart with the use of sensors and other IoT devices to give us an understanding of how cities operate - and how they could operate better. This talk will cover how cities can benefit from this knowledge, and what part Route Konnect plans to play in our future by analysing these data and driving recommendations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Title: Access to Services Using Multimodal Transport Networks
Presenter: Michael Hodge / David Pugh
Level: Introductory

Abstract:
The Data Science Campus worked to develop a tool that will enable the estimates of travel times based on private and public transport. The tool is based entirely on open transport data and open-source travel planning tools, and allows for “what-if” scenario modelling from multiple locations to multiple destinations, single location to multiple destinations and the other way around. We will look at how this can be applied within Cardiff and the surrounding areas to understand different how access to services differ.
