We were delighted to host a fabulous talk from the founder of Microsoft Research, Rick Rashid!

AI models are increasingly capable of solving sophisticated tasks that require reasoning. But how do we improve the quality of that reasoning, especially when the models operate as black boxes?

Geospatial Foundation Models – deep learning architectures trained on large-scale Earth observation and remote sensing data – have proved useful for object detection, semantic segmentation, and

A brilliant 13‑year‑old innovator, Pranav, showcases his award‑winning robotics projects from the World Robot Olympiad.
