Welcome to the Workshop!

The development of language-centric AI during the past few years has been remarkable. It poses challenges but also creates opportunities for organizations both in the private and the public sector. Many of us are curious about how to harness the power of AI in our own business.

Our workshop on Large Language Models and Speech-Centric AI will showcase various use cases and applications both in the public and private sector. Our objective is to introduce the current state of language-centric AI in Finland, and share information about the future of access to language data and modules. The demo presentations and industry talks will illustrate the potential use of language-centric AI.

This workshop is addressed to developers, integrators and users of language technologies and AI solutions in Finland. The workshop will be held in English and on-site only.

Registration

Participation is free of charge, but registration is required. We have 50 seats available. Registration has now ended and the event is fully booked. We have a waiting list for possible reopened seats.
