AI Beyond Efficiency: note on the event

This is a small note that summarize the first workshop of AI beyond efficiency that we did in Valencia in the past spring.

It was a really fun and formative experience where we had the possibility to interact with many colleagues across Europe. We can clearly declare the workshop successful as we had to cap the contribution to only 11 despite the very large contribution that we received (total 22, acceptance rage 50%). If that is not enough for declaring it a success, it also was the largest (most participated) event of the conference.

A big thanks also goes to our sponsors and keynote speaker that stimulated the conversation as well as provided a valuable industrial experience.
