[visionlist] Live free 'AIDA AI Excellence e-Lecture' by Vicky Kalogeiton (École Polytechnique, IP Paris): "Scale is religion?", February 10, 2026 - 17:00 CET

[Ioanna Koroni]

Dear AI scientist/engineer/student/enthusiast,

Please, consider attending to our next Excellence Lecture:

*"Scale is religion?"*

/*Prof. Vicky Kalogeiton (École Polytechnique, IP Paris) */

*Abstract: Intelligent robots do not just respond to command; they 
imagine what you meant, what you wanted, what you believed. And they do 
this while learning from very little, and running on a chip in your 
living room.  In this talk, I will present recent advances in generative 
modeling that aim to equip embodied agents with efficient models that 
can run faster, with fewer data, and more efficient models and imagine 
possible futures under uncertainty.*
