The Georgian Swedish based AI company Neiron (http://www.neiron.ai) together with Georgian AI developers and AI enthusiasts, is opening up an AI Academy in the country. The intent is to improve Georgia’s position and know-how within Artificial Intelligence.

“Until now there has not been any proper AI education in Georgia”, says Neiron CEO Petter Svaetichin. “We hope to raise public awareness and educate people with regards to ethical AI development”, Petter continues.

Neiron is an AI production and consultancy agency that opened up in Tbilisi at the beginning of 2017. The company is fully staffed by Georgian AI specialists and was founded by Swedish nationals. It is also an official partner of Swedish AI giant Peltarion. The company works with both Georgian and international clients that wish to outsource AI-related work.

The initial course is targeted at university students (mainly within physics, mathematics and Computer Science) wishing to build a career in AI, as well as professionals wishing to move into that exciting field in order to further their careers and build a stronger and more attractive CV. In the near future the intention is to offer courses to public and private employers wishing to ready their management and staff for the AI revolution.

The rector of the academy is Levan Bodzashvili, who has a background in AI and new technologies research and education. The courses will be conducted by Senior Neiron team members with both university teaching experience and working on large commercial AI projects.

Neiron Academy is accepting applications from June and plan to start the courses this autumn.
