Iris.ai consists of an AI-based platform for research document processing. With 6000 new papers being published everyday, the team departs from the thought that “staying on top of and connecting all of this knowledge is impossible.

This project by Open Climate Fix provides an open-source solution for the short-term forecasting (also known as “nowcasting”) of solar photovoltaic energy production.

Pachama Originals is a project that harnesses the combined power of AI and satellite data to monitor how much carbon is stored in forests and how forests change over time and informs companies on investments in carbon credits.

Mbaza AI offers an open-source algorithm that enables a large-scale monitoring of biodiversity trends in remote ecosystems, even without a reliable internet connection or advanced hardware.

AfroLID marks a milestone in working towards a more Afrocentric approach to technology development, enabling technologies to be built, evaluated and deployed according to the needs of local African communities.

This EPOS project proposes an inspiring AI-powered approach aiming to improve the coordination of collective learning and decision-making in smart cities.

Mobius offers an AI-assisted system aimed at detecting, locating and classifying whales. By conducting image analysis based on remote aerial imagery, this project can greatly assist humans in their efforts to reduce harm to wildlife.

This project provides an inspiring example of an AI-based referral system for patients with diabetic retinopathy. Aware of the high prevalence of diabetes and a shortage of ophthalmologists and eye illness detections services in the Mexican State of Jalisco, the founding members of this
project developed an AI model based on deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) to enable a timelier detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in people’s eyes. The trained models preprocess and evaluate the suitability and quality and classify relevant ocular documentation with an exceptional specificity and sensitivity on local data.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU and the International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence under the auspices of UNESCO (IRCAI), have joined forces to organise 14 events in close cooperation with Slovenian embassies and other permanent missions in 12 countries around the world. The aim of this effort is to set an active agenda for AI during the Slovenian Presidency and to provide a basis for continuing and promoting bilateral discussions in the field of AI and sustainable development beyond the Presidency.

Slovenia has put forward many advanced solutions, using artificial intelligence and robotics, for the implementation and creation of a smart society 5.0. We would like to introduce some examples of close collaboration with Japan in the fields of art, industry and in policies in general. The event organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Tokyo is scheduled for Thursday November 11, 2021 online.

How and what should we undertake to build the evidence base to enable accountability towards trustworthy AI and to ensure global interoperability in assessing and mitigating risks in AI will be discussed during the virtual seminar on “Enabling accountability for trustworthy AI”, organized by the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovenian 2021 Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the OECD.

No one can predict the future of society in coexistence with machines, but it should beclear that our future will be much more predictable if we responsibly decide todaywhat kind of future we want. You can be part of the reflection on AI together withartists and researchers. Join the debate during our 2-days Symposium The Future of Living on 19 & 20 October 2021 at Bozar, Brussels.
