Background

AI methods are quickly disrupting all areas of our society. As part of the national AI strategy, the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence FCAI in 2019 received a flagship status of the Academy of Finland, with a mission to create significant breakthroughs in the field of AI while producing high-quality scientific, societal, educational or economic impact. As part of this national endeavor, the AIX Forum aims to find new opportunities for high-impact applications of AI in Finland, and exchange ideas between Finnish AI researchers, researchers in other fields, companies, and public organizations.

The goal

The AIX Forum is a meeting place for people applying (or wishing to be able to apply) AI in their specific domain (the "X"), people working on similar problems in some other domain, and people actively developing new AI tools and methods that can potentially be applied in these domains (“AI meets X”). As we already have forums where AI researchers can present their recent results (e.g. the weekly machine learning seminar in the Helsinki area), the AIX Forum focuses more on problems, applications and innovations, and not so much on solutions and tools. Therefore, the presenters in the AIX Forum events are people who have a potentially high-impact challenge for AI (e.g. an interesting data set, but no clear idea about what to do with the data), while the AI experts are in the audience, trying to understand the essence of the problem. After the formal program, there will be an opportunity to network and create links for potential collaboration.
