The first community of tech enthusiasts at UniGe (from Fall 2021)
AI Spot is an upcoming initiative at UniGe for the students, by the students, established with community-driven goals to foster innovation and cultivate a technical society to share, create, and engage like-minded and passionate people.
Our prime objective is to create a network of independent thinkers to help nurture and encourage ground-level discussions to assist our community in being informed technologically and updated with state-of-the-art advancements, with a special emphasis around artificial intelligence. We plan to establish interesting and new ways to empower, explore, and develop a knowledge-first network.
In the coming months we anticipate creating a five-pronged cross-over between:
- Students
- Industry
- Subject matter experts
- Specialist groups
- Academicians
Our tentative agenda includes two different tracks:
-
Technical activities
Open to any motivated student enrolled at UniGe (with the possibility of deducting AUK credits), with the aim of learning state-of-the-art technologies for the next generation of intelligent machines; -
Dissemination
Open to everyone, with the aim of popularizing hot topics and important news about technologies and AI.
