Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly being deployed in society and generating a profound impact on our daily lives. Despite the various advantages of these AI systems, it is also necessary to prevent their direct and indirect potential harm and risks to the users and society. Therefore, it is critical to ensure that these AI systems are trustworthy, responsible, safe and ethical, in particular in high-stake real-world applications. In the meanwhile, research-users are highly recommended to use AI systems with wisdom, prudence and integrity.
Trustworthy and responsible AI has been gaining significant attention from the government, industry and scientific communities. This conference will bring together speakers, delegates and research-users with diverse backgrounds, such as industry leaders, policymakers, government officials and frontier academic researchers and data scientists, to share cutting-edge knowledge, inspiring findings and views in this timely and trending domain. Such an occasion will facilitate knowledge dissemination with a wide range of research-users, help identification of challenges and mutual strengths, create opportunities to build and strengthen partnerships and collaborations, take the conversation further through highly interactive discussion and networking activities.
