The meetup series launched by the Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB) in the fall of 2023 continued. The regularly recurring event, held monthly in the afternoons, aims to provide opportunities for informal discussions and networking after several short presentations. The meetup places special emphasis on young researchers and students.

The topic of the discussion was whether we can live for a thousand years, and if so, whether we would want to, following Csaba Kerepesi's research on artificial intelligence (AI) in aging. The panel also included futurist Árpád Rab and AI advisor György Tilesch.

Researchers from HUN-REN SZTAKI, coordinator of MILAB, and project partner Semmelweis University not only took part in the run, but also collaborated in a scientific study to investigate the relationship between sport and biological age: participants were able to find out for themselves how old they are according to artificial intelligence.

András Benczúr, head of the Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB), coordinated by HUN-REN SZTAKI, exhibited at the day-long event held in Várkert Bazár on 26 March 2024.

Employees from the Indian Manipal University (Manipal Academy of Higher Education), particularly from the Manipal Institute of Technology, Manjunath K N, and Manuel Manuel, a compliance expert from the Scania Group, visited HUN-REN SZTAKI to familiarize themselves with the activities and structure of the Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB).

At the event "The role of the EDIH network in economic development", HUN-REN SZTAKI, coordinator of MILAB, also represented itself with scientific demonstrations. The demonstrations were also visited by Szabolcs Szolnoki, Deputy State Secretary for Technology of the Ministry of Economic Development.

The Tempus Public Foundation organised the International Conference of Stipendium Hungaricum Partners in Budapest on 20-22 November 2023. In the conference programme, a special place was given to the presentation of Hungarian higher education institutions and scientific research institutions, such as the Hungarian National Laboratories. Two national laboratories, the Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory and the National Laboratory of Autonomous Systems, both lead by HUN-REN SZTAKI, were also introduced at the event.

November 13-14, 2023 – The Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB), coordinated by the HUN-REN Institute for Computer Science and Control (HUN-REN SZTAKI), hosted its autumn professional day. Researchers from the University of Warwick (UK) also presented at the event. The purpose of the event was the mutual introduction of MILAB and the University of Warwick (a member of the Turing Scheme), the presentation of research projects, and the exploration of joint research opportunities.

After nearly three years of research and editing, the Centre for Innovation and Research of the Military National Security Service (MNSS) published its book "A Comprehensive Study of the Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Other Disruptive Technologies" in September 2023. To launch the book, the KNBSZ organised a two-day conference on 4-5 October 2023, at the Ludovika National University of Public Service.
