Two MINDS CDT students, Alex Wang and Epifanios Baikas, along with MINDS CDT Deputy Impact Champion Dr Dimitra Georgiadou, attended the first TechNES AI & ML workshop on 8th March 2022 that was hosted by Thales in Reading. TechNES is the Technology Network for Embedded Systems within Techworks, the UK's Deep Tech Hub (formally known as NMI).

This first meeting was attended by representatives from industry and academia, including Embecosm, Alpinum Consulting, NXP, Graphcore, Huawei, Dyson, Infineon, Codeplay, University of Kent, University of Surrey. The participants were allocated to two different work streams: 'AI Best Practices' and 'Use of AI in IC Development & System Design'. The goal of the AI Best Practices group is to provide best practices guidance in the application of AI, machine learning and data technologies to electronic systems engineers who lack specialist training in the area.

The second AI & ML workshop was hosted by MINDS CDT at the University of Southampton on the 26th of May 2022 and Arezou Nayebi was also involved from MINDS CDT. During this workshop, an 'AI Observatory wiki' and an 'AI/ML Cookbook' providing info on AI/ML overview and trade-offs as viewed by both academic and industrial perspective was initiated. The AI wiki is currently hosted in github and includes subject pages on AI Technologies, Legal & Ethics, Privacy, Security & Safety, and People and AI, while lists of AI Events and Conferences, Data and Model Sharing websites and Existing AI Guidance Groups are being constantly updated.

This is a great opportunity for MINDS CDT students to directly engage with industry in the field of AI & ML and together create unified strategies and direction for what is currently perceived as a complex field.
