The goals of AIML 2021 are to present a variety of novel AI applications and case studies; to examine risks and concerns of AI and machine learning (ML); to outline practical challenges in formulating an AI strategy and deploying AI applications; to facilitate interaction and information exchange among AI researchers, practitioners, and business executives; and to discuss new concepts such as AI for good, Responsible AI, and Explainable AI.

After decades of generous promises and frustrating disappointments, artificial intelligence (AI) is delivering real-world benefits, and adopters in businesses and industry in different sectors are embracing the promise of AI reaping significant benefits. To make the connected, smartening world, smarter and to embrace AI for good for the benefit of the society, information on recent and ongoing progress and new innovative applications, as well as challenges and lessons learned need to be shared and discussed. This workshop is aligned with this year’s conference theme, “Intelligent and Resilient Computing for a Collaborative World.”. It’ll 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.

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.
