New Zealand AI Day, the biggest artificial intelligence event to be held in the country, is set to be held in Auckland on March 28. The event will showcase the “amazing strides” AI has made and is continuously making across New Zealand.
New Zealand AI Forum executive director Ben Reid said the conference is the place to hear all about the latest in AI.
“We’re seeing incredible AI developments on a weekly basis and they are growing,” Reid said. “Look at how cool Netsafe has developed the AI tool Re:scam, to stop $12 billion lost globally to phishing scams every year. The recent creation of an AI weapon against scammers is the latest example of New Zealand’s innovative culture at play.”
He also cited AI Forum founding member Chapman Tripp’s launch of new AI service for legal due diligence, and Soul Machine’s Rachel, a digital human avatar who has been created by two-time Oscar winner Mark Sagar.
“New Zealand’s largest companies – including ANZ, Orion Health and Air New Zealand – are rapidly taking to AI, developing innovative new products and solutions using artificial intelligence to create new approaches to old problems,” he said.
“The speedy birth of AI in New Zealand is happening right across the country. Activity and capability in New Zealand are really gathering momentum on all fronts as the country begins to apply AI and machine learning to technology exports.”
The conference, organised by NewZealand.Ai and NZ AI Forum, will feature Michelle Dickinson of Auckland University and Greg Cross of Soul Machines.
