Romania event explores machine learning and AI in corporate communications

Andrew Hillier of Ah! Hillier Consulting, represented the EACD Board at this morning’s inaugural event of the EACD Romania Country Chapter. Pictured here with the newly appointed EACD Romania Country Lead, Elena Petrescu, Andrew addressed EACD members and non-member guests over an extravagant buffet breakfast provided courtesy of Ah! Networking continued during coffee before the panel discussion and presentations which explored the rise of AI as Romania’s preeminent emerging theme for the communications, PR and corporate affairs sector. The panel provided a fascinating insight into current developments in AI and machine learning and how the technology will impact a broad spectrum of industries.

Distinguished Panel

The event was moderated by Elena and the distinguished panel of experts included Bogdan Ciubotaru, Managing Partner of Aliant, Gerd Bommer, Head of Advantage Austria-Romania, Ana-Maria Stancu, CEO of Bucharest Robots and Daniel Mitroi, IBM Enterprise Architect. The event was a tremendous success and special thanks go to Hotel Cismigiu, the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA)Digitix, Financial Intelligence, and Ah! Hillier Consulting whose generous support ensured an engaged and lively audience.

Andrew Hillier said at this morning’s launch event: “I think we will be hearing a lot more about AI and machine learning this year. Change and progress are inevitable and, rather than be intimidated, EACD members typically embrace and shape the future. This morning’s panel has dispelled some myths and explained a great deal about how AI is advancing at a tremendous rate. My special thanks go to Elena Petrescu for organising and hosting today’s inaugural event.”
