AI Academy: Personalised training delivering real business results

In-person AI Tinkerers Dublin meetup at Baseline on 2026-01-26 (Mon) 6:30PM–9PM. Builder demos and technical talks focused on LLMs, generative AI and agentic assistants, plus networking with local practitioners.

Talk on energy-efficient photonic AI processors by Dr Giulia Marcucci (LumiAIres). Explores the environmental impact of AI and how optical chips can cut AI energy use by up to 90%. Open to those interested in sustainability and Greentech, with networking opportunities.

Real-time databases are integrating with data lakes to reduce storage costs and share data with AI and data science. Please join us to hear from a range of experts as they share current problems and solutions while navigating the transition from closed storage models to open table formats like Apache Iceberg.

For the first meetup of 2026 we’ll discuss psychological trade-offs of the AI era—how outsourcing cognitive tasks to LLMs affects our brains. Topics include cognitive debt, erosion of critical thinking, and the shift from creators to verifiers. Casual discussion; no neuroscience expertise required.

An evening of talks on AI and data science including Sulaiman Ahmed on measuring plant growth with data-driven methods and Dr David Kane presenting on the state of AI. Lightning talk TBD. Sponsored by Rittman Analytics and supported by Silicon Brighton. New venue: Eagle Labs (Platf9rm, Tower Point, Brighton).
