What’s Next for Beirut AI?

Over the past couple of years, our efforts have been largely focused on small scale events. We organized regular workshops on a monthly basis, quarterly meetups where we host AI practitioners and experts, hackathons, and bootcamps. Today, we are shifting our focus from targeted, shorter format events to formats that we believe will be of larger impact to our community!

You will see larger events and programs that will aim to cater to a wider audience than Beirut AI’s typical techie enthusiasts. Our monthly workshops will now be lumped into multiple day events where technical and business persons can join to learn how AI can impact their career. The larger formats will allow more time for anyone participating to expand their network, resulting in potential exciting collaborations for our community. We’re also designing programs that aim to upskill university students throughout their academic year!

We believe that in this way we are able to cater to a larger audience of AI enthusiasts in Lebanon so they can hone their skills more effectively.

Pandemics and Ethics: A White Paper in IEEE-SA

Contact Tracing Applications and Contact Tracing Technologies (CTA/CTT) are being hailed as a way to keep tabs on the spread of the Coronavirus across different countries and regions.

To ensure that these innovations adhere to certain accountability and transparency standards are adhered to, the IEEE IEEE Ethics Certification Program for Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (ECPAIS) developed a new AI ethics-oriented certification. Read all about it here.
