Artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly become a main focus topic for organisations and governments worldwide. What started in small R&D environments in the ‘big data’ revolution a few years ago has now grown into a mature practice where data scientists and data engineers work together towards common business goals. AI is powering the finance, retail, energy, and healthcare sectors. This growth a...

Privacy plays a crucial role in preserving user autonomy. While internet users care about data privacy, it has become increasingly difficult to understand exactly how information is collected, shared and used by various entities. In this talk, we will examine the privacy challenges involved in building Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems, as well as the potential benefits NLP systems can br...
Up until recently, the rapid advancements in AI and thirst for progress and monetization mirrored the lawlessness of the Wild West. Yet, as we stand on the cusp of a new era and regulatory wave, there is an increasing pressure on taming this frontier with responsibility and accountability. Many global pack leaders realized the Responsible AI imperative years ago and gained exponential strategic ad...
Drug discovery is costly, time consuming, model systems have poor translation rates to patients and do not significantly reduce the risk of failure in the clinic. Before running any wet lab experiments, Turbine computationally simulates tumor cell behavior in patients to understand the complex mechanisms driving the disease. Observing these in silico experiments, our biologists and translational e...
