Ada X BRAIN "Jenter i AI"

Organizers: Ada and BRAIN.

"Jenter i AI” is a collaboration project between the voluntary student organization BRAIN NTNU, with the goal to encourage students to increase their knowledge about machine learning and artificial intelligence, and Ada, a minority project at NTNU that aims to promote the education of more female engineers and master’s graduates. This event is for all students interested in AI, and will be promoting inspiring female speakers in the different aspects of AI. This is the third time this event is hosted, and this year they will cooperate with NorwAI.
