Talk description: SciFY (Science For You) is a rare hybrid of not-fot-profit and AI company, multiply awarded at a national and international level, which has been working towards the co-creation of human-centric, trustworthy AI systems. In this presentation we shared our exciting 10-year journey, applying technology transfer and connecting research with the industry and the society. We shared how our applications, trainings and services have exceeded 140.000 beneficiaries; how we have turned research results into open products and systems for multilingual summarisation, classification, phonology and linguistics. We discussed how we help researchers bring their results to the light and to the community, how we break the barriers between research communities and AI, and how we support and empower industries in their AI endeavours. We, finally, showed how we pave the way to AI democratisation by co-creating an ecosystem of AI Pioneers in Greece, bringing AI innovation to the society as a whole.
