ENTIRE & UCC's School of Computer Science host first AI training course.
Over 80 participants from a diverse range of SMEs and Public Sector Organisations recently attended ENTIRE’s ‘AI Literacy and the AI Act: From AI, to Ethics, to Regulation’ course. The European AI Act came into effect on August 1st 2024. Article 4 of the Act places obligations in relation to AI literacy within organisations that provide or deploy AI systems. As such organisations must prioritize building AI literacy among staff and system operators to adapt to the evolving regulatory landscape. Led by Professor Barry O’Sullivan from UCC, this interactive session offered: a robust framework for assessing AI systems—covering performance, fairness, bias, and robustness; a detailed exploration of the Seven Key Requirements for Trustworthy AI, Practical strategies for implementing the AI Act; as well as hands-on use of the Assessment List for Trustworthy AI.

Cork Smart Gateway and The VQ Launch the First Edition of the Monthly VQ Mobility Report.
The insights in the mobility report are generated using the data from the recently deployed Telraam S2 sensors on MacCurtain Street. The data gives us a detailed insight into the activity of the area which can be used to plan future and validate existing initiatives. The data will be used to produce monthly activity reports for the area over a 12-month period allowing for a detailed understanding of how the area develops over time. The data gives a detailed breakdown of the number of pedestrians, cars, heavy goods vehicles and cyclists are using the street on a daily basis. The data also shows the peak times at which the street is being used. Going forward, the ambition is to include air quality data and passenger number data from Kent Station in the monthly report to give an even broader insight into the development and vibrancy of the MacCurtain Street & Penrose Dock area. If any groups would like to join the project and contribute data please contact the Cork Smart Gateway (Info@corksmartgateway.ie) or Shane Clarke of the VQ (shane@thevq.ie)
