Ireland has joined the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) network, alongside Norway. This marks Ireland's first involvement in the pan-European network. The new ELLIS Unit Ireland, part of Rinn AI, Ireland's national centre for research and innovation in data science and AI, will be led by Prof Noel O'Connor.
The unit's goal is to advance fundamental AI research in areas like machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and information retrieval. It will also focus on addressing real-world challenges by collaborating with domain experts, policymakers, and societal stakeholders. The ELLIS network, which has 49 units across Europe, aims to position Europe as a leader in AI research.
Prof O'Connor emphasized that joining ELLIS is a significant moment for AI research in Ireland, opening new doors for collaboration and ensuring the AI developed serves the people it is meant to help.
