ICT forum: Use of AI in industry April 8 at 18.00-19.30

Welcome to the ICT forum with a focus on the use of AI in industry - 8 April at 18.00-19.30.

Joachim Aae and Ole Petter Nordanger from twoday will show examples of how AI (artificial intelligence) has been used operationally in industry. They will visit Generative AI, such as language models, but also more classic techniques such as machine learning and optimization.

Twoday has completed many different projects across the Nordic region, and will present concrete examples. You will hear about how solutions from twoday have contributed to cleaner water with machine learning for VandCenter Syd in Denmark, and how they have used AI to optimize parts of the taxi industry for Taksi Helsinki in Finland.

In addition, Joachim and Ole Petter will show a live demo of how you can use cloud solutions such as Microsoft Fabric to perform machine-learned deviation analysis on sensor data in real-time.

In other words, this will be an exciting forum you won't want to miss. WELCOME!

Place: Statistics Norway - Statistics Norway, Otervegen 23, 2211 Kongsvinger. NB! Bring identification for access control.

Welcome to #insight no. 4 at HIK on March 29 at 11.00-12.30 – Topic: AI and ChatGPT

Welcome to #insikt no. 4 at the University Center in Kongsvinger on March 29 at 11.00-12.30 – Topic: AI and ChatGPT

How will artificial intelligence change the way we work and live? Which jobs will disappear and which new ones will be created? How can technology be used to make us more efficient already today?

In this month's #insight, we will try to provide some answers to these questions. We will exemplify this through the AI ​​tool ChatGPT.

Join us to talk about the opportunities and challenges we have Gustavo Mello, who is head of Oslo Met's AI lab and leads a research group in artificial intelligence at the same university. The lecture is in English.

In addition, the Skarnes company HomeIn will tell how they want to use artificial intelligence in their business to create better products to manage electricity consumption in homes and businesses.

PS: We have asked ChatGPT if it can explain what it is and why it is smart to attend a lecture that deals with the tool. This is the answer we got😊:

Chat GPT is an advanced technology that uses artificial intelligence to understand and generate human language. This technology has revolutionized the way we communicate online, enabling chatbots and virtual assistants that can communicate in a way that seems natural and human.

If you want to learn more about Chat GPT and how it can be used to improve your communication, you should definitely attend a talk on this topic. You will gain insight into how technology works, how it can be integrated into your business and how it can help you save time and money on customer service and other aspects of your business. Don't miss your chance to learn about this exciting technology and its potential!

#innsikt is a series of events for businesses and industries in the region and a collaboration between Klosser Innovation, the University Center, CREDS - Center for digitization and sustainability and 7sterke

WELCOME TO GET RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE SUPPLEMENT!


Invitation to an information meeting about new seasons of Forræder on March 9 at 10.30-11.30

As you are probably familiar with, the second season of the public success Traitor been recorded in the Kongsvinger region in the last two weeks. The series is broadcast on TV2 in prime time in the spring, and the production of Traitor has given us a unique opportunity to showcase the region. Season 2, which has been recorded now, has great photos from Kongsvinger, Eidskog and Sør-Odal and mentions the region in many different contexts.

We invite you to a mobilization meeting on 9 March at 10.30-11.30 followed by lunch (for those who wish), where they will be informed about upcoming plans for the series. The meeting is held at the University Center in Kongsvinger.

TV2 and the production company Fremantle are currently considering where future seasons will be recorded. The location for season 3 has already been decided. However, TV2 is considering another location for season 4 and the upcoming seasons after this. Through dialogue with the production company, it has been clarified that our region is highly relevant as a permanent location for Traitor. A recording outside Oslo will, however, entail a number of extra costs related to accommodation for production personnel, catering etc. This means that a recording at Kongsvinger will require the host city/region to contribute to covering this extra cost, through funding from municipalities and business. In return, we will have influence in relation to where it is filmed, and the production company is willing to use locations throughout our region.

In the information meeting, clips from the filming in the Kongsvinger region will be shown and information will be given about the plans for the coming seasons of Traitor. Representatives for the region will talk about how the series will be used as a tool to create increased interest in and more visitors to the region. In addition, we want to establish a dialogue between the business world and public actors, about how together we can contribute to the Kongsvinger region becoming a location for future seasons of Traitor.

Registration by email to: jannicke@klosser.no We hope you have the opportunity to join the meeting — WELCOME!
