AI NI is back! ... Virtually.

This is our first remote event since our COVID-19 instigated hiatus. In this event we are presenting a bite sized event with three compelling speaker contributions ranging across community initiatives, horizon scanning and exciting applications of AI in cancer patient stratification. This event will be hosted by our AI NI's own, Austin Tanney.

Each talk will last around 15 minutes with scope for Q&A after the fact using the built in Zoom functionality, attendees can ask questions as the talk progresses and an organiser will triage accordingly.

Finally, a big thanks to Allstate Northern Ireland for sponsoring the event, kindly allowing us to leverage their Zoom license and providing Amazon vouchers that will be give out to some attentive attendees.

Jordan McDonald - 15 AI Highlights in 15 Minutes

You may recognise Jordan as a regular host of AI NI events past. What you may not know is Jordan is an active spectator in the ever growing, ever changing AI technology tapestry. He has a passion for using the latest AI tooling to deliver tangible business value via his role as a technical leader in AI software delivery.

In this event Jordan is stepping down from the podium to give a rapid fire overview of key AI developments that have emerged in the past few months. Computer vision, NLP and beyond will be discussed and dissected to help you navigate the AI landscape and separate what developments are truly signals among the noise.

Brian Cleland (Allstate) - AI x Smart Cities

Brian currently works with Allstate AI Centre of Excellence as an AI Software Engineer. Before that he spent a number of years as a Researcher in Data Science on the MIDAS Project with Ulster University.

The increasing availability of low-cost high-quality sensors has led to a proliferation of community-based IoT projects across the globe. This talk will focus on a Newry-based smart city project that uses open source AI-enabled devices to collect real-time environmental data. It will explore how machine learning techniques can be used to analyse and interpret that data in meaningful ways.
