The objective of this talk is to educate people about what artificial intelligence (AI) is, what it can do and how it can be utilised to harness its potential. This will be supplemented with case studies of AI projects from various industries.

In fact, AI technology is increasing in our lives. It has uses in industries like gaming, media, finance and also in the state-of-the-art research fields like robotics and medical diagnosis.

Malta currently is drafting its artificial intelligence (AI) policy, aspiring to claim their stake among the global leaders in AI, such as Finland and Mexico.
