We attended the Concertation meeting in Brussels, with the objective to bring together projects to discuss and share, to learn from each other and to find synergies and possibilities for future collaborations. This Concertation meeting is a follow up of the one of previous year’s , and this time we were extremely happy to meet and welcome also new participants form recently launched projects.
The X5GON project held its third meeting in Nantes, France and boosted a pre-meting workshop on new technologies for OER and open education. It presented talks on blockchains, hybrid social networks, inclusion, evaluation, curricula alignment, end-to-end communication, interoperability, and was a great intorductionto our agenda.
We have attended the World Summit AI which is currently the world’s leading and most important summit for the entire AI ecosystem from Enterprise to Big Tech, Startups, Investorsand Science.
The event presented talks from our colleagues Yoshua Bengio who has a portfolio of talks on our case study VideoLectures.Net, applied solutions for enterprise, to mind-boggling innovation, to heated discussions on AI ethics and AI4good.
A major underlying component of the World Summit AI was education, however not directly addressed by anyone in the room, the sustainability of machine learning experts is not defined at this point – we suggest to tackle it in 2019 and beyond with OER.
