‏Among the topics of the forum are:

• Artificial intelligence
• The Internet of things
• Machine learning

Artificial intelligence refers to the ability of any machine to imitate human behaviour in an intelligent way. It is often classified into two types: applied artificial intelligence and general artificial intelligence.

As for the ‘‘Internet of Things’’, in simple language, deals with connecting any device with an on and off switch on the web, which can also be interconnected. These devices can range from mobile phones, coffee makers, headphones, etc.

As for machine learning, this technique is the practice of using unique algorithms to solve and sort data. Machine learning can be understood as a subset of artificial intelligence, which is the technology behind the capabilities of artificial intelligence in carrying out the most famous tasks such as natural language processing “NLP” and image recognition and many more, the organisers explained.
