AI foundations models are game-changers for nearly all aspects of our digital world. Yet, our specialised data is the core fundamental knowledge that we need to safeguard and rely on. Where and how should data be kept, where and how to apply global providers or self-hosted sovereign AI models and services, this remains a balancing act we need to deal with over the next years in every deployment of AI. We have a line-up who touches on various aspects of these core questions.

Speakers:

  • Jaak Vilo, Head of the Institute of Computer Science, Professor of Bioinformatics
  • Allan Bernard, Head of Engineering at Nortal Estonia
  • Gamal Elkoumy, Staff Data Engineer at Veriff
  • Heili Aavola, Junior Research Fellow in Machine Learning at UT Institute of Computer Science
  • Toomas Römer, Vice President of Engineering at Bolt
  • Sander Kütisaar, University of Tartu High Performance Computing Center System Administrator

The academic organiser of this event is Head of the Institute of Computer Science Jaak Vilo.
