Today the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence joined NORA – The Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium, WASP – Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program, Pioneer Centre for AI and CADIA (Reykjavik University) to launch the Nordic AI Research, Education, and Innovation Partnership #NordicAIR. The Partnership aims to elevate the Nordic region's role in addressing the challenges and opportunities of artificial intelligence. “We are delighted to strengthen the links between top AI research centers in the Nordics,” says Samuel Kaski, director of FCAI and professor at Aalto University. “Our common interest is increasing the visibility and impact of Nordic AI, through joint research, innovation and education initiatives." Among other activities, the Partnership organizes the annual #NordicAIMeet. We look forward to closer collaboration, stronger academic representation in society, and amplifying Nordic AI research!

Our call for Principal Investigators in #machinelearning and #artificialintelligence closes in 2 weeks! Why apply? - Professorship affiliation at universities across Finland - Top research infrastructure including LUMI supercomputer - Generous startup package - The ELLIS - European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems network - An international community of leading researchers in the world's happiest country 🇫🇮 Apply here: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dTnZKk68

Tekoäly koettelee käsitystämme ihmisyydestä ja muuttaa työmme ja yhteiskuntamme. Mitä meidän pitäisi tietää, miten varautua? Vantaan, Helsingin ja Tampereen seurakunnat järjestävät yhdessä yhteistyökumppanien kanssa tekoälyhuippuseminaarin tiedekeskus Heurekassa sekä verkossa. Keskustelemassa mm. FCAI:n Jaana Leikas ja Marttinen Pekka. Tule linjoille perjantaina 28.3.2025 seuraamaan striimiä klo 9-15! Seminaarin tarkoitus on herättää keskustelua tekoälyn aiheuttamasta merkittävästä murroksesta yhteiskunnalle ja ihmisyydelle. Lue lisää osoitteesta www.herays.fi Huippuseminaarissa mukana Suomen tekoälykeskus FCAI, Euroopan komission Suomen edustusto, Vantaan kaupunki, Heureka, Google, Microsoft, Business Finland, Liikenne- ja viestintäministeriö, Ulkoministeriö, Howspace ja Livetek.   Tapahtuma on ilmainen ja sitä voi seurata striimin kautta.

"In Finland we have decided already years ago that AI is a national top priority for us," said PM Petteri Orpo at the recent AI Action Summit in Paris. One part of this vision is the launch of ELLIS Institute Finland, the newest branch of the pan-European institution for machine learning research ELLIS - European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems. Another is the European AI Factories, one of which will be in Finland, with the next-gen AI-optimized LUMI supercomputer. (More on that and the EU's InvestAI initiative below 👇) Our researchers will have access to these research infrastructures and more, in a country that is investing 4% GDP in RDI.

FCAI's Mikko Kurimo has received funding from Suomen Kulttuurirahasto / Finnish Cultural Foundation to develop new resources and learning materials using artificial intelligence to revitalize and strengthen the use of the Sami language. The project involves close collaboration between experts in speech and language models, Sami language education and indigenous education as well as Sami communities. We look forward to seeing how the project evolves! Congrats Mikko and team! Read more below 👇 and at https://lnkd.in/dKMvPkDm

Big news, indeed! Finland offers a world-class compute infrastructure and great research environment (minimal bureaucracy; emphasis on quality, creativity, and impact over hype). But beyond all these, Finland’s biggest asset is its people – during my time here, I’ve met some of the most amazingly gifted, straightforward, and kind people both within and outside academia and industry. No wonder this society has been able to punch way above its proverbial weight! Now, with the launch of the ELLIS Institute Finland (headed by the inimitable Prof. Samuel Kaski, and backed by the Finnish government as well as wonderful philanthropists such as Peter Sarlin), we’re ready to take it up a notch further. As a member of the inaugural management team, I’ve gladly agreed to spearhead and drive the efforts to attract global talent to Finland. Please spread the word! Drop me a note if you’re someone, or know of others, who might fit the bill for these positions, and we’ll take it forward from there.  

🎇 This is your opportunity to be part of something groundbreaking: join the newly established ELLIS Institute Finland 🇫🇮 as a Principal Investigator. Applications are encouraged in all areas of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and related disciplines. Their particular focus is on complementing and further strengthening the Finnish ELLIS community’s existing strengths in machine learning, including data-efficient probabilistic machine learning, interactive and cooperative machine learning, and transformative multidisciplinary collaboration. 📍 Helsinki 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dTnZKk68
