What we’re about
This meetup group is focused on innovation in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. We are particularly interested in bringing people interested in closing the gap between academia and industry together, and in cutting-edge science and technology solutions capable of transforming the world, in particular, in the field of healthcare.

The 67th ESReDA Seminar
Høvik, NorwayThe 67th ESReDA Seminar will explore the challenges of building trustworthy intelligent systems in high-risk environments.
Held at the DNV Headquarters in Høvik, Norway, the programme will include an invited talk by Dr. Hector Zenil titled “Superintelligence and the Problem of AI Alignment” on:
Date: 25 September 2025
Location: Høvik, Norway
Seminar page: https://www.esreda.org/eventsIn his talk, Dr. Zenil will examine one of the most pressing questions in the field of Artificial Superintelligence: how to ensure alignment between increasingly autonomous systems and human values. Drawing on over a decade of research in neurosymbolic computation, he will introduce alternatives to current large language model approaches and discuss applications in precision healthcare and predictive medicine.
The ESReDA seminar will bring together experts and institutions to address emerging safety, ethics, and reliability issues across topics such as:
- Autonomous systems (vehicles, drones, robots)
- AI agents and multi-agent coordination
- Simulation, modelling, and control of complex systems
- Governance, bias, and ethical implications in AI

You are invited to ALIFE 2025: Ciphers of Life, the premier international Conference on Artificial Life, to be held in Kyoto, Japan.
As keynote speaker, Dr. Hector Zenil will open the conference with a talk titled “Common Misconceptions of Algorithmic Complexity: Revisiting an Old New Framework for Causality & Life Sciences” on:
Date: 6 October 2025
Location: Kyoto, Japan
Conference site: https://2025.alife.orgIn this keynote, Dr. Zenil will confront six deeply rooted misconceptions that have long shaped the fields of complexity science and computation, including misunderstandings about algorithmic randomness, entropy, computability, and the scope of digital computation. He will present a hierarchy of complexity measures and expose how confusion in this area often leads to misleading or exaggerated claims.
The talk will also offer a constructive alternative: a unified theory of causality grounded in algorithmic probability, and a new framework—Algorithmic Information Dynamics (AID)—to detect causal structures through perturbation-based methods. These ideas build upon the tools CTM and BDM, and connect to recent developments in neurosymbolic computing, including the SuperARC test for evaluating machine intelligence beyond current benchmarks.
This keynote will set the tone for a conference that explores the frontiers between life, computation and causality.
