Scaling Horizontal Partnerships for AI
Delivering AI-driven industrial applications requires an integrated view across a wide range of horizontal technologies, ranging from IoT to High-Performance Computing (HPC), AI, Data and Robotics, Cybersecurity, Smart networks and Electronic components and systems.
This session will explore the major issues of commonalities and the potential for technological advancement. The discussion will illuminate research priorities to amplify synergies across the areas of Data, Robotics and AI, IoT and HPC, Cyber Security, Smart networks and Electronic components and systems.
Several Speaker representing related associations, such as ETP4HPC, AIOTI, Big Data Value, euRobotics, ECSO, 5G and ECSEL or euRobotics, as well as industry and research institutes/academia will share technical visions, thought-provoking thoughts and insights on emerging trends.
The session is expected to be highly interactive with short presentations to set the scene at the beginning and be complemented with a panel discussion and moderated Q&A dialogue.
The session will be organized by BDVA, EuRobotics and AI4EU.
