What’s coming up at #IJCAI2024?

The 33rd International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-24) will be held in Jeju Island, South Korea from 3-9 August. The programme will feature keynote talks, panel discussions, tutorial, workshops, and oral and poster presentations. There will also be three special tracks, focussing on: AI, arts and creativity, AI for social good, and human-centred AI.

Keynote talks

There are six invited keynotes at this year’s conference. These will be delivered from 6-9 August.

• Gillian Hadfield – Normative Infrastructure for AI Alignment
• Thomas Dietterich – AI in Open Worlds: A Progress Report
• Bo An – From Algorithmic and RL-based to LLM-powered Agents
