Here’s what October has held for the Beirut AI Community!

Theoretical Intro to AI — Community Workshops

As part of our community efforts to ensure that AI enthusiasts, across all regions of Lebanon, receive the necessary skills and knowledge to embark on their journeys into the AI field, we host our Introduction to Artificial Intelligence workshop to different communities and universities, upon request.

During October, both the LAU AI Club and Google Developers Students Clubs from different universities (including LU, AUB, LAU, BAU, and RHU) have hosted the theoretical Intro to AI to their respective students, with more than 280 students from all over Lebanon. They got to learn about the different fields of AI, its applications, and its potentials!

Launching the MENA AI Festival

We also have very exciting news for you. Beirut AI will be hosting the MENA AI Festival, a festival organized by City AI that will include technical workshops, experts’ talks, discussion panels, and most importantly, a chance for networking!

So don’t miss the opportunity to join us to explore and discover the benefits of AI and get a full understanding of how it is shaping the world we live in today.

PS: This event is FREE of charge and anyone with a passion for Artificial Intelligence can attend!

Tuesdays with Beirut AI

As we all know, our Tuesdays with Beirut AI’s main purpose is connecting our members together. It’s a community gathering for Beirut AI members that takes place on the first Tuesday of every month.

We hosted our fifth Tuesdays with Beirut AI on the 5th of October and many beneficial topics and discussions took place, including the availability of AI jobs in Lebanon, importance of AI in businesses, and many more!

We would also like to inform you, that after the success of our 2021 Membership Program, we have introduced some changes to our 2022 plan to offer you the ultimate AI experience with exclusive workshops, gatherings, job opportunities, and many more!
