Start of New AI for Good Webinar Series: "From Molecules to Models" Featuring ELLIS Programs
This series aims to highlight the contributions of ELLIS Programs to AI in life sciences and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
ELLIS is launching a new webinar series, "From Molecules to Models", as part of the AI for Good Initiative. This series delves into the contributions of various ELLIS Programs to the field of AI in life sciences, aiming to foster collaboration across disciplines.
The first session kicks off on February 3, 2025, featuring a talk titled "Unlearning Toxicity in Multimodal Foundation Models and Learning to Design Protein-Protein Interactions with Enhanced Generalization." This session, led by Rita Cucchiara (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE)) and Josef Sivic (Czech Institute of Robotics, Informatics and Cybernetics), will explore advanced AI techniques for modeling language toxicity in multimodal LLMs. The session concludes with an interactive Q&A, providing a platform for discussion and engagement.

More about AI for Good
AI for Good is the United Nations’ leading platform on Artificial Intelligence for sustainable development.
AI for Good was established in 2017 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations (UN) leading agency for digital technologies. The platform is co-convened with the Government of Switzerland and in partnership with over 40 UN agencies. Its founding mission is to leverage the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to drive progress toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
AI for Good continues to host the flagship annual Global Summit in Geneva, along with regional impact events across the globe, engaging youth through Robotics for Good Youth Challenges worldwide, Innovation Factory and Machine Learning (ML) Hackathons, Governance Day and International AI Standards Summit. All of this is to address urgent calls from global entities like the UN Global Digital Compact, the High-Level Advisory Body on AI, and the G20 to lead in AI standards and capacity-building.
As the platform continues to evolve, AI for Good remains firmly aligned with the collective priorities of the international community, advancing the transformative potential of AI for the benefit of all. Visit the AI for Good website: https://aiforgood.itu.int/.
