Yesterday at ICT.OPEN I also attended a panel discussion on "Bridging the Gap between Research and Industry through Application-Oriented AI Innovations"

It was mostly academics in the room, but I had an interesting chat with Dr. Floor Campfens and my colleague Dr. Anna Lukina afterwards, where we talked about the research done at RIWO, and of course our research at TU Delft.











Screenshot of an ongoing poll on the question "Academic focus on AI research and innovation is out of touch with the real-world problems faced by industry and public sector organisations." The votes are as follows: 1. "Total Nonsense - academia is leading where it matters": 0 votes 2. "Mostly Untrue - there are real efforts to stay relevant": 6 votes 3. "Meh - hit or miss depending on the case": 25 votes 4. "Pretty accurate - ivory towers don't solve real problems": 5 votes 5. "Absolutely - academics are busy chasing citations, not impact": 1 votesSlide that introduces the panel: - Prof. dr. Anthony Thornton: Professor, University of Twente, CEO of MercuryLab - Dr. Jeroen Linssen: Lector, Saxion University of Applied Sciences - Dr. Floor Campfens: R&D Manager, project lead, Innovation RIWO
