AIML 2024: The 7th IEEE International Workshop on Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: AI & ML for a Sustainable and Better Future

Call for Papers

The goal of the workshop, seventh in the series at COMPSAC, is to foster interaction and information exchange among AI researchers and practitioners, both from academia and industry, on the safe, reliable and trustworthy application of Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) in real-world applications. The workshop aims at: presenting a variety of novel AI applications, case studies and large-scale validation of AI technologies; examining risks and concerns of AI and ML; outlining practical challenges in formulating an AI strategy; discussing AI for Good initiatives; AI & ML for better future; addressing topics such as eXplainable AI, algorithmic fairness, trust and reliability; and discussing challenges related to AI safe and robust deployment; AI on chip; new generation AI/ML models; Sustainable AI; AI for sustainability; testing/validation and certification; Generative AI; Ethical frameworks for AI; AI for sustainable growth; AI for sustainable supply chains.

Workshop Theme 

After decades of generous promises and frustrating disappointments, artificial intelligence (AI) is now delivering real-world benefits, and adopters in businesses and industry in different sectors are embracing the promise of AI reaping significant benefits.  AI is now more pervasive and influencing all aspects of human life. Further, AI is progressing from narrow AI to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).  There are growing efforts towards harnessing AI in multiple dimensions including handling data, novel algorithms, new models of compute, socio and economic aspects.  This growth should lead to building a better  AI models for a better and sustainable future. Hence the main focus is to address the sustainability in entire life cycle of AI. At the same time, this grown in AI has the potential not only make our lives better on this planet but also the way we manage our planet.  Hence AI can contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of United Nations. This year workshop is aligned with the theme of COMPSAC 2024 conference, Digital development for a better future.  The Workshop will cover several elements of AI research and practice and socio-technical challenges facing adoption of AI in new innovative applications, outline status of AI in practice, and examine AI’s yet to be realised potential for sustainable and better future.

Scope of the Workshop 

This workshop will facilitate much needed interaction and information exchange among AI researchers, practitioners and business executives. It will provide an interactive forum for discussion on recent and ongoing developments, key issues and challenges, and practices related to AI applications. It will also serve as a platform to present case studies and discuss application to experience as well as to demonstrate applications and software tools.
