The centre aims to speed up scientific breakthroughs by using artificial intelligence
The country’s first university-owned AI research institute has been launched.
Located in UCD, the centre aims to speed up scientific breakthroughs by using artificial intelligence.
It’s hoped it can build on UCD research already using AI in areas including childhood cancer, maternal health, and weather forecasting.

Minister Lawless, says third level institutes have received a huge amount of support:
