The Department of Computer Science in coordination with the AILab, hosted on Saturday, Apr. 20 2024 AI Day for 2024 with the event themed “The Rise of the Machines” (https://www.unic.ac.cy/event/info-session-artificial-intelligence-the-rise-of-the-machines/).

The event targeted high-school students and included presentations from the AILab co-directors Prof. Athena Stassopoulou & Prof. Ioannis Katakis, and interactive demos of our two robots and a chatbot.

The demos originated from projects that our students worked, or are working, on:

  • Constantinos Romantzis’ (MSc Data Science Graduate) demos were on Bias in Large Language Models, as well as a demo of a chatbot for nutrition monitoring.
  • Mahdi Osman (BSc Computer Science, Senior Year Student) did a demo of his Final Year Project with an NAO Robot playing tic-tac-toe on a whiteboard against human opponents.

The event attracted more than 60 participants and was a success!
