From Cybersecurity to Democracy: Challenges and Innovations in AI Research and Applications
On February 5, Tel Aviv University brought together key figures in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the highly anticipated AI Day 2024. This gathering served as a forum for researchers, industry professionals, and experts to delve into crucial issues in AI research and applications, providing insights into the foundational theories driving this rapidly evolving field.
The event specifically highlighted AI's significance in times of war, featuring discussions on computer vision, NLP, regulation, and the complexities of tackling fake news.

Opening the AI Day 2024, Professor Ariel Porat, President of Tel Aviv University, emphasized that the AI Day embodies the resilient spirit of Tel Aviv University and the country - as Israel does not have the privilege to suspend all activities for a year, nor can the university stop training students and producing research.
While a full AI week will take place later in the year, alongside the Cyber Week scheduled for June, a one-day event is a testament to the strength of Israel as a nation in these trying times.
Prof Porat underscored TAU's commitment to developing AI and data science expertise through its recently established multidisciplinary center that offers a cluster of AI and data science courses to TAU students from all faculties.
