Are you intrigued by the role Artificial Intelligence and devices like phones, fitness trackers and smart speakers play in our lives?
Would you like to be part of the discussion around the ethics of AI technology? Join ADAPT’s programme of #DiscussAI events to find out more.
#DiscussAI is a national conversation about Artificial Intelligence (AI), exploring AI’s impact on our lives and society.
Through #DiscussAI events, ADAPT researchers are engaging individuals and communities across the country in conversations that raise and answer questions on AI, and generate ideas for new research.
We would love to welcome you at one of our future events. Sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear about our plans: https://bit.ly/EPE-mailinglist.

AI in My Life is a teacher-led classroom workshop series. Teachers don’t need any prior knowledge of AI in order to deliver the programme. ADAPT’s Education and Public Engagement team will provide training for teachers, and the course toolkits will provide teachers with background information and a walkthrough of each of the modules. We will also be available if you have questions at [email protected].
Our AI Ambassadors can visit your school if you’d like in-person support.
Sign up to host or attend a free STEAM linguistic problem-solving workshop in your school. Open all to all secondary schools on the island. Click above to register.
AILO introduces students to linguistics (i.e. the study of human language) and to the application of logic to problems of language understanding and translation. The goal is to develop students’ problem-solving skills and to inspire them to consider the fascinating range of careers at the intersection of computing, linguistics and language.
ADAPT’s new ‘Technology in My Life’ programme engages primary school students (aged 10-13 years) in teacher-led workshops on the ethical use of technology.
These modular teacher-led workshops will explore how to use technology in an ethically correct manner and in accordance with the moral and ethical standards of the school, the children’s home, and society in general.
The ‘Art or AI?’ Museum of Very Modern Art challenges you to spot if its artworks have been created by a human hand or generated by artificial intelligence.
AI-generated art tools like DALL-E, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion are changing how we view art and creativity. But as humans, how good are we at distinguishing a classic from an artwork generated by a machine?
A free Transition Year Linguistics module consisting of 10 topics covering topics such as phonetics, writing systems and language acquisition has been developed by the ADAPT All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad (AILO).
The module was funded by Post-Primary Languages Ireland (PPLI) and uses AILO puzzles so that students can get hands-on experience of linguistic problem-solving.
Four students will represent Ireland at the International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL), taking place in the Isle of Man in July 2022.
The Irish team is made up of the top four students from the 2022 All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad (AILO) which is run by ADAPT, the SFI Research Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology, at DCU.
Check out ADAPT installations at BIAS: Built This Way at Science Gallery Dublin, Pearse Street, Dublin 2 until end of January 2022.
The exhibition interrogates how prejudice can move quickly from human to machine as algorithms and artificial intelligence systems are encoded by humans with very human values, preferences and predispositions.
For Science Week 2020, SignON presents an art-science event that combines artificial intelligence with Shakespeare. Alvean Jones and Lianne Quigley will perform some of the most iconic scenes from Shakespeare in Irish Sign Language for a unique audience of people and machines.
Artificially intelligent apps will watch the performance with you, so that you get to see what a machine sees when it watches theatre. The performance will be followed by a discussion on artificial intelligence and sign language machine translation. This event includes ISL interpreters.
