The connection to the RDI hub

The RDI hub building is dedicated to John McCarthy as a tribute to the Stanford University computer scientist. McCarthy was one of the founders of the discipline of artificial intelligence and his father was born in Cromane, near Killorglin in Co Kerry. In the late 1950s McCarthy invented LISP which became the programming language of choice for AI applications.

AI is going to have a truly transformative effect on our lives in the coming years, Already it is a discipline which has risen to prominence in terms of the personalisation of content we interact with on a daily basis online but there is so much more AI can help us achieve in the Sustainability space and we are looking forward to discussing its diversity with our speaker panel.

Our aim is that the John McCarthy AI Summer School will become a calendar moment for the development of AI and the sharing of knowledge.

A stellar lineup includes Colleen Josephson, Assistant Professor at the University of California, Caroline Lair, Founder of The Good AI, Patricia Scanlon, Ireland’s AI Ambassador, Professor Vinny Cahill of Trinity College Dublin, Marguerite Nyhan of University College Cork and Professor Joseph Walsh of Munster Technological University.
