#AAAI20 – a weekend in tweets
It was a busy weekend at the 34th Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). Although the AAAI technical sessions didn’t start in earnest until the Sunday there were numerous workshops on Saturday as well as associated conferences AIES (AI, Ethics and Society) and EAAI (Educational Advances in AI). Here is a selection of tweets from the weekend.
From the ethics conference (AIES)
Been looking forward to @OsondeOsoba's talk, "Technocultural Pluralism: A “Clash of Civilizations” in Technology?" https://t.co/ubbefB76RO #AAAI20 #AI #ethics pic.twitter.com/tz8psY0y9I

Nice moment of appreciation and gratitude from @DatapolicyProf for these students that were critical to the success of #AIES2020.
She’s also talking about necessary labour we have to do to bring a broader community into our spaces and work ?? pic.twitter.com/eIW16pnG3h

Forks (from the session on Natural Language Processing: Machine Comprehension)
Also, people ask the ConceptNet folks all the time about issues we ran into crowdsourcing common sense. OMG, recency bias/priming of various types. (again @ybisk's slide). #AAAI2020 pic.twitter.com/rzFy1AFwKe

Turing Award session
Fascinating Turing Award session! Hinton’s great-great-grandfather was George Boole, the father of symbolic reasoning. The story of #AI in a single family. #AAAI20 #AAAI2020 @rao2z @frossi_t @conitzer @yolandagil pic.twitter.com/p2najTvBDX
