Machine Learning and AI Panel at AI Core Event
The AI Core hosted Microsoft’s Lee Stott and Bianca Fortuna at Imperial College London on 19 February on machine learning and AI application.
The event focused on bias and diversity in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Students from Imperial and other London universities attended to listen to presentations, engage in a discussion, and network over refreshments.
The discussion covered a range of topics. Firstly, Stott and Furtuna showed how Microsoft provides technology, resource, and expertise to empower those working to solve humanitarian issues and create a more sustainable and accessible world. This includes, for example, protecting biodiversity, helping farmers to increase sustainable food production, protecting complex eco-systems and fighting species extinction.
Luca Cilio, a student of the Applied Computational Science and Engineering MSc at Imperial, and member of the student-led organisation the AI Core said:
“The AI Core aims to raise awareness around the global issues that can be faced with machine learning and AI – to help us all understand the issues of bias and diversity in machine learning in the practical world.”
