Speaker: Dr Lily Clements from IDEMS International Title: Educating with Responsible AI Abstract: There is currently immense interest and awareness in the ethics of AI. In 2022, we were tasked with developing a Responsible AI course for the Turing Institute titled ‘How Data Lies’. In August 2023, we were tasked to give a double course in Burkina Faso
Title: Dynamic SIR Models with an Exact Solution Speaker: Prof. Dr. Delfim F. M. Torres Affiliation: University of Aveiro, Portugal Abstract: We investigate an epidemic model based on Bailey’s continuous differential system. In the continuous time domain, we extend the classical model to time-dependent coefficients and present an alternative solution method to Gleissner’s approach. If the coefficients are constant,
