Visual Intelligence had the great pleasure of hosting a school class from Kongsbakken VGS in Tromsø on April 20th 2022.

The visit was part of the "Technology and Science" program at this school. In this program, the aim is to give the pupils insight in the role that the natural sciences and technology play in society, the challenges faced, as well as ethical dilemmas.

Director Robert Jenssen gave a presentation and live demo entitled "Machine Learning Research, AI Technology and Ethical Considerations" and the pupils were served lunch.

We hope to host many more such visits!
