AIhub monthly digest: December 2021 – #NeurIPS2021, sustainable cities and the Reith lectures

Welcome to our December 2021 monthly digest where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, get the low-down on recent events, and much more. This month we cover, amongst other things, NeurIPS 2021, sustainable cities and communities, and the BBC Reith Lectures. One of the main events in the AI world this month was the 35th conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS2021). We were lucky enough to attend and only scratched the surface of the vast array of talks, panels, workshops and posters on offer. You can read the first of our round-ups of the invited talks, #NeurIPS2021 invited talks round-up: part one – Duolingo, the banality of scale and estimating the mean.
