What is eigenai?
EigenAI is a UTMIST flagship conference introducing students to the world of AI, ML, software, and emerging technologies. Through panels and workshops covering both fundamental and advanced topics, participants gain hands-on experience and practical insights.
This year’s theme is Across the Many Frontiers of AI, which invites students to journey through the many dimensions of AI, allowing them to explore the field from multiple perspectives and hear from professionals across diverse industries. Beyond technical talks and workshops, students have the opportunity to build their professional network and connect with industry leaders, academic professionals, and like-minded peers.
