Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AI/ML)

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are transforming industries, and Ubuntu is the platform of choice for the developers, researchers, and engineers bringing these innovations to life. From workstations equipped with GPUs to vast cloud clusters and tiny edge devices, Ubuntu provides the stable, secure, and performant foundation needed for cutting-edge AI.

This track is dedicated to the powerful intersection of AI/ML and the Ubuntu ecosystem. We invite talks that cover the full lifecycle of an AI project—from setting up a development environment on the desktop to deploying scalable models in the cloud and at the edge. Whether you are building foundational models, creating robust MLOps pipelines, or exploring the ethics of AI, this is the place to share your work with the community.
