Corriere: Ellis, l’Europa al lavoro per un centro unico sull’intelligenza artificiale
ellis 17 December 2018 Press Release
Lo European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems nasce come una società per permettere a ricercatori e dottorandi dei migliori istituti europei di lavorare fianco a fianco, per provare a competere con i colleghi americani e asiatici
L’Europa ora ha una carta in più per colmare il gap nella ricerca sull’intelligenza artificiale con Stati Uniti e paesi asiatici. L’Ellis, lo European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems, nasce proprio con l’obiettivo di unire le forze delle eccellenze europee nel campo dell’AI, creando dei percorsi di ricerca e dottorato transnazionali incentrati in particolare sul progresso economico dato dallo sviluppo di queste tecnologie.

Nature: Europe’s AI researchers launch professional body over fears of falling behind
ellis 10 December 2018 Press Release
Universities on the continent are rapidly losing talent to industry in the United States and China, say scientists behind the initiative.
Some of Europe’s top machine-learning researchers have founded an organization to strengthen capacity in artificial intelligence (AI) technology on the continent. The need for such an organization was first described in an open letter written by almost 200 researchers and published in April. The letter warned that investment and expertise in AI technology in Europe is falling behind those in North America and China.
The Register: European AI researchers to create a new lab
ellis 08 December 2018 Press Release
A team of European AI experts are working together to support a new European research hub nicknamed ELLIS.
ELLIS, which stands for European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems, was previously proposed back in April to create new jobs and encourage academic research. USA and China are frequently seen as world leaders in AI and European countries want to remain competitive. Fast forward eight months, and it looks like the plan is slowly coming into fruition. The formation of the lab was announced at the NeurIPS (Neural Information Processing Systems) conference in Montreal.

In an open letter, the scientists say the proposed Ellis institute is essential to avoid brain drain to big tech firms
Leading scientists have drawn up plans for a vast multinational European institute devoted to world-class artificial intelligence (AI) research in a desperate bid to nurture and retain top talent in Europe. The new institute would be set up for similar reasons as Cern, the particle physics lab near Geneva, which was created after the second world war to rebuild European physics and reverse the brain drain of the brightest and best scientists to the US.
