European (pre)-early stage AI startups in the limelight
As AI moves from research labs to commercial products, the dent technology leaves on society accelerates — agreed by mass. In the following three years, the contribution from AI will grow considerably. The European Union predicts that AI solutions will have an economic impact of $12 trillion by 2025. We’re witnessing AI technologies used by Johns and Janes in real-world products (in varying setups targeting B2B, B2B2C or B2C). The need to bridge the gap in the deep tech startups space is more real than a few years ago. People that introduce novel interpretations, to new or old problems, must know the intrinsics that AI can bring to a business. Generally valid, it doesn’t matter what AI technology you use, but if you are efficient and effective at using it, and picking the right problem you solve. …
Challenges to smarten up your apps, following our October 13th, Bucharest AI Workshop

Find (a) simple solutions (b) to overlooked problems (c) that actually need to be solved, and (d) deliver them as informally as possible, (e) starting with a very crude version 1, then (f) iterating rapidly.
We based our workshop on this pattern. Let’s have a look at the challenges (you can go through them by yourself some scrolls below) and their respective requirements. …
Notes from the Bucharest AI Meetup #9
AI is showing up more and more in optimising workflows used to automate provisioning of identity. As we find more and more opportune to dive into learning:
- how we can provide automated and repeatable ways to govern the identity life-cycle;
- how to be compliant with identity and privacy regulations;
- discover Identity as a Service (IDaaS) solutions;
we focused a full meetup edition on touch basing with some of the solutions-use cases out there.
You asked, we answer. Our attempt in trying to define main concepts correctly
Definition of AI: Intelligence demonstrated by machines, be they via means of using Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing or various other AI researches/sub-fields. AI was founded as a discipline in 1956 and divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other. These sub-fields are based on tech considerations, ie: robotics, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, knowledge reasoning etc [Read more on history, major goals, approaches, philosophy, tech and glossary on Wikipedia]. …
