doing lots of technology new technology but we'd like dark
00:00:05
technology also to be used and to be useful for society
00:00:08
and we said we want to be more in touch with people not being here in on our own working on this technology so is that what we need
00:00:15
is a series off off of different uh it's impose yeah we're going to talk
00:00:20
about different aspects of a i and we introduce people and we make sure or
00:00:24
that we get people from all all sectors that we get
00:00:27
people laugh from uh from the industry that we get academics
00:00:30
that you get people from the general public policymakers all these
00:00:33
people should be come together and discuss where a eyes going so
00:00:38
indeed this was our aim bring together key partners from this that sectors
00:00:43
and we thought if we do that we can accelerate research in a i because when
00:00:47
we do things and we create new technology if we see that it is being used
00:00:51
that will just help us to create better technology also we
00:00:55
would like to increase public awareness because a a is something
00:00:59
that is talked a lot about uh if you look at the newspaper is currently now with chatty pity for example i think
00:01:06
nobody has the thing that going unnoticed so there's a lot of of talk about a ah but i think
00:01:11
we as researchers have also do role to play to explain what's a eyes about and how we see things going
00:01:18
so today you're here for the very first of this it possesses a very special moment
00:01:24
and uh the one the topic of today's data signs in colleges you'll know
00:01:28
for the upcoming symposium are we are we don't have the dates yet but we know we're going to have one on a i insecurity
00:01:36
a i for democracy and possibly also one on energy so stay tuned because there may be more interesting
00:01:42
um but even uh in that in the future coming up with these are of the suppose
00:01:48
um what else they don't say oh yes about the numbers
00:01:51
so what is so great about you being coming here altogether
00:01:55
is that we manage to get indeed is very nice bright over the different sectors so we got about uh
00:02:01
uh we got about fifteen percent of medical a specialist which is great because these people we all
00:02:06
know have not a lot of time so it's so happy that they could just spend time here without
00:02:10
and then the rest of it is fifty fifty academic industry so i think that is as for
00:02:15
us a great achievements so make the most of this now that we're here together let's talk let's discuss
00:02:20
let's see how our technology can help you with your real data
00:02:24
problems right we can help you maybe with that address is very interesting
00:02:28
to be able to use our technology in the real world problems because
00:02:31
there's so much more interesting than the problems that we could think of right
00:02:37
so a little bit about haiti up because you might not be here
00:02:40
for the first time so we are in independent not for profit research foundation
00:02:45
we were created long time ago already for a high standards nineteen ninety one and
00:02:51
as you see in in europe there's that he ah which is for individuals activities yet
00:02:56
so we were all ready doing or well i wasn't because i'm quite new here but it already
00:03:02
working on artificial intelligence thirty years back that was what a i wasn't as fashionable is now so to
00:03:09
ah about funding so we have a public funding competitive forming an
00:03:13
industry based funding combining that all and this is how we survive here
00:03:17
and how we've grown a lot over the past years we have a joint development that with the e. p. f. l.
00:03:23
we have about a hundred and fifty employees thirty three nationalities are very international
00:03:28
and about fifty p. h. d. students that are doing research your daily basis
00:03:33
and then we have fourteen research groups covering a broad range of a. r. e.
00:03:37
research areas and that's what makes it so special i think that we have people working
00:03:41
on vision others on textual data and someone to help the main others on the media
00:03:46
uh i'll show you a little bit later uh what kind of a research we're doing here
00:03:52
so this is a picture that shows in the ups missions and ecosystem
00:03:57
so we have a three things that we find very important one is of course research were research institute
00:04:03
so we have a lot of research projects running so sixty five over sixty five earning higher per year
00:04:10
we have a lot of publications that we do yeah you re the usual things that researchers to
00:04:15
but then we also find training very important so we have to join development plan with the l. p. f. l.
00:04:20
and we have a lot of our uh researchers here who are also professors
00:04:25
for example at e. p. f. l. i. to new or at other universities
00:04:29
and what is also interesting for this training aspects we have
00:04:33
also the our our own a. i. meister it's a distance
00:04:37
uh driven masters so you can follow courses online and the the interesting thing is that students
00:04:43
uh are not just doing in a a a a master but they're also at the same time
00:04:48
the company so they're helping this company to develop a strategy for a i for
00:04:52
example already be sold in one of the problems as part of this and master training
00:04:56
so this is i think a very unique thing that you don't see a ah in switzerland or outside of europe very often
00:05:03
and that the other thing that we find very important is innovation and tech transfer and as you can see here we have
00:05:11
multiple startups and we have a spin offs because system and one of them
00:05:15
a week up i think it's also that right is the one that's
00:05:19
actually recording today's talks as so that you can also listen to them afterwards
00:05:24
and then there's the create challenge which is also a nice thing uh which we organise every year
00:05:29
where people get together and have and mine base experience of a sort
00:05:33
of packets or but much more intensive because you have mondays to work
00:05:36
from a prototype an idea that you might have to something that's actually working
00:05:41
and we usually do that in summer so if you know somebody interested or if you're yourself interested uh check our website for that
00:05:48
so about those fourteen research groups or the the fact that i said that we cover so many areas of of a
00:05:53
a i. which is a special button yep so yeah we're all under one roof but working on different types or different
00:06:00
aspects of a hard so which makes is also have expertise in many different uh areas for example the people
00:06:07
to know everything about signal processing others in computer vision people working with robots
00:06:12
people working on speech and language is out as myself i'm doing that and we also can handle lots of data types
00:06:18
can handle text we contend handle speech and audio we can handle images and video
00:06:24
and then the application domains so health and life sciences is something that is very important for many of
00:06:29
the research groups at it up so it's one of our main application domains that's why we're very happy
00:06:34
to have this symposium today but there's also energy security a median entertainment and so forth
00:06:42
good now i'd like to handover still rough ah which is on the other side of the room but she will
00:06:49
be here so just going to explain to you the program because raw file is the person
00:06:53
who is really behind the symposium of today she was one knowing all the speakers and inviting them
