The department of computer science at the University of Nicosia will host an informative event focused on the transformative power of machine learning and data analytics on March 28, 2026.

“Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we live, work, and interact with the world, from autonomous cars and smart homes to medical diagnosis and drug discovery,” an official event announcement mentioned.

It explained that the session aims to demystify complex technologies by exploring how ChatGPT and other emerging tools function in daily life.

Attendees will examine the mechanisms behind recommendation algorithms used by platforms such as YouTube to decide which videos are suggested to users.

The presentation will also cover commercial applications, such as identifying which products customers frequently purchase together to optimize business strategies.

“Data analysis can even be applied to the world of sports to improve the performance of a football or basketball team based on previous match statistics,” the organisers stated.

Participants will explore the diverse career paths and opportunities available in this rapidly evolving field during the two-hour session at the Newton Amphitheatre.

The event is designed for high school students with a passion for technology as well as those who are simply curious about the future of innovation.

Demetris Trichinas, Assistant Professor at the School of Sciences and Engineering within the Department of Computer Science, will serve as the keynote speaker.

The University of Nicosia intends to present its BSc in Data Science programme, which features a curriculum covering modern topics such as AI, Big Data, and Data Governance.

Practical learning and market connectivity are core pillars of the degree, ensuring students are prepared for professional environments.

Those in attendance will have the opportunity to gather more information regarding their studies, student life, and future employment prospects.

The event is specifically addressed to students from public and private high schools, as well as those attending technical schools.

Instruction will be conducted in English, reflecting the global nature of the technology sector.
