We Brought Age-Friendly AI to European Researchers’ Night!

We recently took part in European Researchers’ Night in Dublin, sharing the work of Age-Friendly AI with a large and lively crowd!

The event, which was part of Trinity College Dublin’s wider START (Start Talking About Research Today) festival, offered free, hands-on experiences to bring cutting-edge AI research to the public. This festival was part of the Europe-wide European Researcher’s Night programme, supported by the European Union.

Age-Friendly AI Highlights from European Researchers Night:

  1. Spirit of Radio: Dr. Damon Berry and the STEM Ensemble team showed off the Spirit of Radio. This is an interactive, AI-powered vintage radio that was actually inspired by the co-creation activities we run with older adults through Age-Friendly AI making it a great example of how your ideas can inspire new technologies.

  1. “Building an AI Future, Together” Talk: Dr. Emma Clarke gave a pop-up talk as part of the ADAPT #ExploreAI showcase. She discussed how important collaboration and partnership are to the Age-Friendly AI project. She also highlighted our ongoing AI Opinions campaign, where we are listening to your voices to shape the future of AI. Get involved here: https://agefriendlyai.ie/share-your-thoughts/

The whole ADAPT Centre’s #ExploreAI showcase drew an engaged crowd, demonstrating that everyone is keen to learn more about how AI is impacting our lives.
