Slovenian Conference on Artificial Intelligence and its predecessor Intelligent Systems are traditional conferences at the Information Society multiconference. Information technology is transforming the society, and artificial intelligence is becoming the key driver of this transformation. It is increasingly clear that artificial intelligence has the potential do drastically boost the economy, tackle many societal challenges, and bring about a brighter future. However, as any powerful technology it has its downsides and dangers, so it has to be developed and applied judiciously. The conference addresses artificial intelligence, intelligent systems and their applications in the information society. It seeks to present state-of-the-art methods and applications to real-life problems. Even more so than in previous years, it wishes to be a forum for discussion of the role of artificial intelligence in the society, what future is likely to bring, and how to steer it so that artificial intelligence changes our lives for the better. We welcome papers from the academia and the industry, from any country.

Instructions for authors

We call for papers on the topics of the conference, which should be accessible to a relatively wide audience. The papers should not exceed four pages, and should preferably be written in English, although Slovene papers are also accepted. Template files are available on the conference submission page. The papers will be reviewed by the Programme Committee. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and presented at the conference. An award will be given to the best paper selected by the Programme Committee. Extended versions of selected papers will be invited to the Informatica journal.

Conference programme and participation

To enable everyone interested to attend, the conference will be hybrid, happening live and remotely, for presenters and participants. The presentations will be organised in sessions depending on the papers’ topic and language. By default, the presentations shall be given in English. The time allocated for each presentation will be 15–20 minutes (including discussion). In addition to the regular conference sessions, we plan:

• Keynote on trustworthy AI by Mykola Pechenizkiy of Eindhoven University of Technology
• Data Science Meetup where data scientists from the industry will give short presentations of their work
