Sponsorship
Horizon2020 AI flagship R&I projects AI4Media and ELISE,
together with the International AI Doctoral Academy (AIDA)
joined forces in sponsoring this event.
Format
There will be 7 sessions (4 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon) where
participants will debate the ‘AI future ’, namely hot AI research issues
with diverse scientific, societal, legal, ethical, industrial and economic
aspects. The 7 sessions will focus on the following topics:
Session panelists will make their short statements during each panel to initiate discussion by the audience. Discussion will be informal, hopefully lively and hot, aiming to debate contrasting views (thesis-antithesis) on each issue.
You are welcome to a) watch
panelist and other views and voice your own views on any panel topic, by using
the ‘Voice your views’ area, b) propose your own AI grand challenge, and c)
actively participate in each panel discussion. The more innovative, futuristic,
even provocative your views are, the better. The discussion will be conducted
though in a scientific way and in good faith.
The entire discussion and contributions will be compiled later on in a public ‘AI
research white paper’ that will be used to guide R&I anywhere in the
world, notably in the framework of AIDA and Horizon2020 ICT48 R&I projects.
For any questions, you can contact the Symposium secretary Mrs. Ioanna
Koroni koroni...@csd.auth.gr (for organizational matters) or Prof. Ioannis Pitas pi...@csd.auth.gr (for scientific matters).
