China’s Wang Yi’s stop in Helsinki brought pledges of closer ties on trade, green technology and artificial intelligence, part of a week-long Nordic tour that also touched on European security.
ReactorEd, the company behind a language-learning platform for teachers, was already familiar with AI tools when it began exploring new opportunities with support from FAIR. The result of the collaboration was a new AI tutor, and expert guidance helped the company accelerate development while avoiding common pitfalls.
Every day, you leave traces of yourself behind. In search engines. In apps. In online shops. You don’t give it a second thought — but artificial intelligence does.
