2nd National Congress · Fondazione ENIA
Towards the Public Infrastructure for Artificial Intelligence
The architecture of the project
Three moments of a single journey: the live sessions prepare the Workshops, the Congress builds them, and the White Paper gives them back to the country. Nine working Workshops, grouped into the eight National Workshops: each session works within one of the six Pillars of the infrastructure.
The week that prepares the Workshops: short, open talks, one for each capability of the infrastructure.
Each session covers one Pillar and relates to one of the eight National Workshops.
One chapter per Pillar: speakers and guests of the Fringe Congress turn their talks into written contributions, edited by Neural Nexus Review, the scientific journal of Fondazione ENIA.
7 – 14 October · Live on LinkedIn
From 7 to 14 October, every morning, a live session on the Fondazione ENIA LinkedIn page. The colour indicates the Pillar the contribution belongs to.
