Join ADAPT, Insight, and CeADAR for a dynamic AI research showcase connecting researchers, innovators, and industry partners who are working at the cutting edge of AI.
The event celebrates the impactful research taking place across the three centres, the powerful partnerships with industry and public bodies, and the innovative spirit of the AI research community. Guests will hear first-hand accounts of AI research in action, exploring the stories, shared challenges and lessons learned. Together, these experiences will highlight the positive change that the research is driving across society.
The agenda features inspiring presentations including real-world case studies with industry, and an interactive debate shaped by audience questions. Discussions will focus on how AI is impacting democracy and governance, businesses and society around us, with lessons that are relevant across sectors.
Hosted by UCD in the distinctive Fitzgerald Debating Chamber, the event invites active participation, lively debate, and opportunities to connect with researchers and peers while exploring practical and responsible applications of AI.
