    A key meeting point for applied AI in the Basque Country

    ApplAI26 is the Applied Artificial Intelligence Conference in the Basque Country, an initiative launched by BAIC with a clear objective: to establish the region as a European leader in adopting artificial intelligence solutions that have a real impact on industry and society.

    • The conference will be held in San Sebastian and will bring together companies, universities, technology centres, start-ups and public entities committed to digital transformation.
    • TECNALIA is working with organisations to integrate artificial intelligence into their business processes and models, with an ethical, robust and results-oriented approach.
    • Our involvement at ApplAI26 reinforces our commitment to developing a robust applied AI ecosystem in the Basque Country.

    Trends, strategy and responsible use of artificial intelligence

    • The conference programme will delve into the key factors that make a difference when it comes to implementing artificial intelligence.
    • The presentations will cover topics such as data strategy, developing talent, cultural change in organisations and responsible practices when using these technologies.
    • This will all be done by taking a practical approach aimed at speeding up the adoption of AI in key sectors such as industry, energy, healthcare and public administration.
    • ApplAI26 goes beyond simply predicting trends. It will focus on how to take action and make a real impact on the competitiveness of organisations.

    The future we are already building

    TECNALIA will take part in Block 3: The future – a space focused on the role of talent, companies and ecosystems as drivers of transformation.

    • Javier del Ser, principal researcher at TECNALIA, will give a presentation entitled “Don’t p-ai-nic! Education, critical thinking and responsibility in the use of artificial intelligence”.
    • In his speech, he will talk about the importance of training professionals and organisations to understand, question and use artificial intelligence responsibly. It is a necessary perspective for building a future in which technology serves people and drives economic and social progress.
