European Commission Webinar showcases AI on Demand Platform’s current and future developments

On Wednesday 24 April 2024, the European Commission hosted an engaging webinar to showcase the latest developments and future outlook of the AI on Demand Platform (AIoDP), highlighting significant contributions from the AI4Europe and DeployAI European projects. Denia Kanellopoulou, of partner NCSR Demokritos, represented the DeployAI project with a presentation titled “DeployAI: Development and Deployment of the European AI on Demand Platform“. The event, which was attended by members of the European Digital Innovation Hubs Network (EDIHs), provided a comprehensive overview and hands-on experience of the platform’s capabilities.

The webinar commenced with an insightful overview of the AI on Demand Platform, emphasising its role as an essential AI toolbox designed to assist practitioners in developing innovative products and services. Attendees had the opportunity to see a demonstration of the Platform, focusing on key tools such as the AI Builder and RAIL – Research and Innovation AI Lab.

The AIoDP is a collaborative ecosystem that kick started under the Horizon 2020 initiative and continues to be developed with support from Horizon Europe and Digital Europe funding programs. The Platform aims to bridge the gap between European AI research and practical applications in industry and public services. By fostering collaboration among various European stakeholders, the platform strives to quickly transform state-of-the-art AI research into real-world products and services, making advanced AI technologies accessible to all European citizens.

Through the AI4Europe and DeployAI projects, the AIoD Platform is set to continue its mission of enhancing AI innovation, reducing barriers for researchers and developers, and promoting the rapid deployment of AI advancements across Europe.
