This document presents the contributions discussed at the second institutional workshop on Artificial Intelligence
(AI), organized by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission. This workshop was held on 05th
July 2019 at the premises of the JRC in Ispra (Italy), with video-conference to all JRC's sites. The workshop aimed
to gather JRC specialists on AI and Big Data and share their experience, identify opportunities for meeting EC
demands on AI, and explore synergies among the different JRC's working groups on AI.
In comparison with the first event, according to the JRC Director General Vladimír Šuchav, the activities and
results presented in this second workshop demonstrated a significant development of AI research and
applications by JRC in different policy areas. He suggested to think about replicating the event at the premises of
diverse policy DGs in order to present and discuss the clear opportunities created by JRC activities.
After the opening speech by the JRC Director General Vladimír Šuchav, the research and innovation presentation
were anticipated by two presentations by Alessandro Annoni and Stefano Nativi. The first presentation dealt with
the results of one year of AI@JRC and six months of fully operational AI&BD community of practice1. The second
presentation reported the results of the AI competences survey at JRC.
The research and innovation contributions consisted in flash presentations (5 minutes) covering a wide range of
areas. This report is structured according to the diverse domain areas addressed by the presenters.
While the first part of the workshop was mainly informative, in the second part we collectively discussed about
how to move on and evolve the AI&BD community of practice.JRC.B.6-Digital Econom
