Draft Minutes: 

CERN-ITU Meeting #1 - Thursday 1 Jul 2021 10:30am - 12.30pm - https://indico.cern.ch/event/1053448/

Participants:

ITU: Reinhard Scholl; Preetam Maloor; Sadhavi Saran

CERN: Charlotte Warakaulle, Alberto Di meglio; Anna Ferrari; Sofia Vallecorsa; Andrew Prucell; Archana Sharma

CERN Idea Lab: Oday Darwich; Tuuli Utrianen

 

1. After a round table of introductions, Reinhard showcased the AI for Good program at the ITU. Very high level thinkers, diplomats and experts have been featured: https://aiforgood.itu.int/  The audience is global

 

Subjects range from Climate Science, curated and moderated sessions for machine learning and data management.

Interest for machine learning running in 5G network

Technical journal at ITU where we could feature a CERN article

Interest in compute power to participants

 

A possible CERN event (session of 60 to 90 minutes) — could be entitled AI and the Higgs Boson

With a CERN-ITU intersect:

Innovation factory 

communication networks & AI 

AI & climate science

Trustworthy AI

AI & health (Collaborate with WHO) ; Challenges of AI for health sector

Benchmarking framework

Annotating tools

AI for natural disasters (Collaborate with UNEP, WMO)

Geospatial data, allocation and analysing mobile phone data

Standards and certification

Autonomous vehicles and regulation of vehicles

 

A concept: CERN could be a technology partner for the SDGs 

 

2. Anna presented the CERN Openlab and CERN Science for open Data with examples - slides https://indico.cern.ch/event/1053448/

 

3. Alberto explained CERN Open Data and Science for Society, QT and Network actions with several examples: - slides https://indico.cern.ch/event/1053448/

 

QKD White Rabbit

Quantum Infrastructures

  Secure Data Analysis; secure distributed data analysis

Quantum Blockchaining

Medical use cases

Image classification and segmentation for neurological research

Advanced Engineering

Standardisation processes

 

4. Andrew explained the webfests at CERN with a view on Science Society Sustainability - slides https://indico.cern.ch/event/1053448/

A number of connects with:

Remotely green

World summit on Information Society

ITU, FAO, IEEE

Smart mobility

Anomaly detection

Autonomous drones, helicopters, vehicles

KT also works together with the webfests for smart IOT

 

5. Uday and Tuuli described the IDEA2 their experience and possibilities of hackathons and cross cutting ideas as above that could be played upon.

CONCLUSIONS (to be refined)

Form a focus group at CERN-ITU for 

data governance

data processing

sandboxes for testing AI trust

inter agency group for AI
