Innovative Minds Unite: A Recap of the AI Driven Sri Lanka Workshop at IEEE Education Week 2023
The IEEE Education Week Sri Lanka 2023 was a resounding success, with a diverse range of educational opportunities, programs, and resources highlighted over two action-packed days. The event was a collaborative effort by several IEEE groups, including IEEE SLInspire, IEEE Techverse Sri Lanka, IEEE SL Students Activities Committee, IEEE Young Professionals Sri Lanka, IEEE WIE Sri Lanka Section, IEEE SL Section SIGHT, and IEEE Computer Society Sri Lanka Chapter. The Sri Lankan celebration of the global phenomenon took place on the 3rd and 4th of April 2023 at TRACE Expert City, Sri Lanka, and brought together industry experts, academics, and students from across the country to explore the latest advancements in technology.
As part of the event, AI Driven Sri Lanka hosted an interactive workshop on Conversational AI, Generative AI, and LLM, with a Q&A session led by the esteemed speaker Hansa Perera. Our objective was to create an open platform for knowledge-sharing on the latest advancements in engineering technologies and raise awareness about the industrial challenges and opportunities available to engineers in Sri Lanka. We also aimed to provide academics, researchers, undergraduates, and postgraduates with insights into the relevance of these technologies and identify priority research areas in line with the latest advancements. Our workshop provided a platform for students to showcase their research and project work and initiated discussions on how to use these technologies for the betterment of humanity. Overall, we are proud of the success of the IEEE Education Week Sri Lanka 2023 and our workshop and look forward to continuing to drive progress in engineering and AI in the future.
