We are excited to bring to you, in collaboration with RelativityHQ, the new Documentary “Pandemic”. This film was released to the public on March 3rd.

Fun fact: Dr. José Morey was interviewed for this documentary by Relativity along with Rebecca Burwei, Sebastian Kohlmeier, Trish Gleason, Lucy Lu Wang, Tayab Waseem, Jose Meseguer and Gabriel Preda. Chosen from their work with the White House Office of Science and Technology and the Google Kaggle CORD19 Project all interviewees discuss about how AI is fighting the Pandemic! 

 

We are honored to have Tayab Waseem (a fellow interviewee) and Mary Rechtoris (a producer of the documentary) join us on this month’s Pie and AI Webinar! We will start with introductions for everyone, show you the FULL documentary for free and conclude the evening taking live questions from the audience! 

 

This pandemic has been over 365 days of stress and fear… join us on March 25th to see how people like Dr. Morey and Dr. Waseem are using artificial intelligence towards to fight against the pandemic.
