When you think of artificial intelligence, do you imagine a robot reading your mind or a machine making decisions faster than a human? The reality goes even further: AI is not only reshaping the way we do research but also changing the way we innovate, live and make decisions.

It might seem like a far-off concept in our everyday lives, yet behind every advanced AI model is a massive computing infrastructure that underpins its training and optimisation. Without supercomputing, AI simply wouldn’t have the same impact. How can you leverage this technology to drive your projects forward?

In this masterclass, we will learn how supercomputing can break new ground in the development and scalability of AI systems, cutting computational time and making state-of-the-art models more efficient. We will also explore the opportunities and services that BSC makes available to businesses, researchers and government.

Want to take your company or project to the next level? Come along and find out how supercomputing can be your finest partner in the AI revolution!
