Generative AI
Is it hype? Definitely!
Maybe 2022 will be seen similarly to 2012, when Alexnet made the breakthrough for image recognition with AI. This was the beginning of the exponential development of machine learning in the last 10 years. And 2022 could be a similar moment, this time through developments in the field of Generative AI.

Do you know Bert?
Not from Sesame Street. Google’s BERT.

Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability

Has Europe lost the AI race?
A lot can be read and heard about artificial intelligence (AI) and especially about machine learning (ML). It is one of the technologies that will decisively determine our future.
