With exhibitors from 24 countries in more than 30 conferences and panels, the first Artificial Intelligence Week in Argentina at the Cultural Center of Science, located in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo. The event was attended by special guests and authorities, including the Secretary of Innovation, Science and Technology, Dario Genua; and the Chief of Staff of the President’s Council of Advisors, Demian Reidel.
During the course of the event, there were meetings and thematic sessions with the aim of inspiring new ideas in the development of technology and its role in the quality of life of the Argentine community. There were innovative cases in commerce, health, telecommunications and public services.

The winner was the web platform Retinatewhich uses AI to improve access to ophthalmological control to prevent blindness due to diabetic retinopathy. With their victory, the creators received a prize of US$5,000, in addition to computing hours on the Clementina supercomputer for Decisive Advances with Supercomputing Projects (PADS), up to 4,000,000 CPU hours and/or 250,000 GPU hours.
In addition, the site allows trained technicians to capture retinographs of diabetic patients in a decentralized manner, offering on the spot a pre-diagnosis using AI whether or not ophthalmologists are present.
