Artificial Intelligence (AI) is receiving widespread attention around the world, with breakthrough results in a range of domains generating excitement, speculation and concern about the potential revolutionary impact of AI on economic growth and the future of jobs in the face of automation. 

At UQ, academics and researchers from across many Faculties and Institutes are actively working on the development and application of AI techniques in a diverse range of disciplines and application domains.  The purpose of this workshop is to bring these people together to share knowledge, explore synergies and develop collaborations around AI.
