The Research and applied ai summit (RAAIS)
RAAIS is The RAAIS Foundation’s annual fundraising event, organised to support the Foundation’s charitable mission of advancing education and research in artificial intelligence for the common good. The event brings together a vibrant community of researchers, entrepreneurs, and practitioners who are pushing the frontiers of AI science and applications to tackle some of the world’s most important challenges.
The Foundation believes that AI’s real-world impact should go beyond solely for-profit applications. Through RAAIS, it seeks to foster collaboration, spark new ideas, and provide opportunities for communities and individuals who might not otherwise participate in advancing AI.
All funds raised through this annual fundraising event directly support The RAAIS Foundation’s charitable programmes in education and research.
