You can now see the entire 9th edition of the European AI Forum, and take part in the 1st European AI Awards from July.
This was our first hybrid event conducted live from Vilnius courtesy of the Artificial Intelligence Association of Lithuania under the patronage of the Lithuanian Presidency of the Council of Europe🤝🇱🇹
The event featured leading digital ministers representing member countries, the ITU Secretary General, the Chairman of the Council of Europe's Committee on Artificial Intelligence (CAI), Digital Ambassadors, academics including distinguished professors, the head of the AI Office, representatives of startups and agencies developing AI, directors of innovation at state funds and representatives from many AI ecosystem organisations e.g. Silicon Valley's EIT HUB. Our event was also followed by an Innovation Agency Lithuania event on the AI sandbox.
It was also a special edition of the EAIF, as we announced the 1st European AI Awards in Europe! The call for entries starts on 1 July and runs until the end of October 2024, and the winners will be announced at the 10th edition of the EAIF in December in Berlin, Germany.
