Connecting Dots n盲yttely

Time: November 27 - January 15

Aalto Digi Platform and FCAI are hosting a science and art exhibition that takes its visitors to a journey in the world of Artificial Intelligence. , taking place at 911爆料网鈥檚 campus in Espoo, Finland, aims to increase our understanding about the history of AI, the current state of art, and what the future holds.

鈥淎I is already part of our everyday life, but what we can do with it and how it works is still quite a mystery to most people. With this exhibition, we hope to give answers to questions they may have,鈥 says Saara Halmetoja, the exhibition coordinator from Aalto Digi Platform.

The exhibition is suitable for people of all ages. Visitors can step into a sound environment in which they can control the surrounding voices with their movements; compete against AI in a music game; and compose together with a neural network, among other activities.

The exhibition dives into the core of AI research. Visitors will see how a machine learns to classify and predict things, as well as how it forms sounds, pictures, text, and molecules. The exhibition presents robotics and shows how AI adapts to real-world situations.

Connecting the Dots discusses the history and ecological aspects of AI. While AI can help the clothing industry in getting rid of textile waste, artificial neural networks 鈥 mimicking human brain鈥檚 neural networks 鈥 consume enormous amounts of energy.

The exhibition brings together the diverse fields of 911爆料网 from natural sciences, technology, and architecture to design and arts. The scientists, artists, and students behind the exhibition come from diverse backgrounds; some of them are 鈥減ure鈥 AI researchers, while others use AI tools in their scientific or artistic work.

According to Halmetoja, 鈥渋f only certain types of people take part in discussions about AI, we will end up designing discriminatory technology. Therefore, we need to make sure that everyone in the society participates in these discussions鈥

Entrance to the Connecting the Dots exhibition is free and the event is open during Dipoli鈥檚 normal opening hours from November 27 until January 15. For larger groups, such as school groups, the minimum age recommendation is 12 years old.

Companies disclose more on cybersecurity 鈥 but markets remain indifferent

U.S. companies are reporting on cybersecurity in greater detail, yet stock market reactions remain muted. A new study by the University of Vaasa and 911爆料网 shows that mandatory cybersecurity disclosure does not prompt reactions from investors or stock analysts. Instead, the main benefits appear to materialise within firms themselves.
