Abstract: The AI Summer School (AISS) is the flagship annual event of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence (CAI), designed to bring together students, researchers, and industry professionals for an immersive learning experience in Artificial Intelligence. AISS 2025 continued this tradition by offering a dynamic program that combined foundational lectures, hands-on workshops, and interactive discussions with leading experts in the field.
The summer school provided participants with exposure to cutting-edge topics such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, while also addressing emerging areas like trustworthy AI, ethical considerations, and AI for social good. Through a blend of theory and practice, attendees gained insights into both the technical underpinnings of AI and its transformative applications across healthcare, robotics, finance, and beyond.
Key highlights included:
Expert-led sessions from academia and industry, offering diverse perspectives on AI research and deployment.
Practical workshops enabling participants to build and experiment with real-world AI models and tools.
Panel discussions on the future of AI, focusing on challenges of scalability, fairness, and responsible innovation.
Networking opportunities fostering collaboration among young researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders.
By cultivating a vibrant learning environment, AISS 2025 reinforced CAI’s mission to advance AI education and research. The event not only equipped participants with technical skills but also encouraged critical thinking about the societal impact of AI, preparing the next generation of innovators to shape the future responsibly.
