Mission: The idea is to create an offline discussion forum for AI professionals in Kolkata, and discuss non-commercial weekend/open source projects, brainstorm, share ideas, AND also develop small prototypes hands on. The sharing of knowledge and networking would enable a lot of ideas exchange between AI professionals in the city.
Vision: We acknowledge that it is very difficult to keep up with the latest developments in our field of work. The vision is to have a group that is steeped into exploration, and applied research, where discussions could spark actions and keep us up-to-date.
Who gets an invite to the discussions? AI Professionals who currently work in the field, senior students who are hands on with development and has done at least a few projects in the field. Members are expected to contribute with development or active guidance (based on experience level).
Who are not expected to get into the Group? Pure enthusiasts without a background of AI (Bachelors, Masters, PhD, work). People who prioritise things other than active research and exploration in the domain of AI.
