This workshop will take place at the Scientific Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Paris. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a pervasive science and technology. It is now impacting all aspects of science, business, technology and culture. This workshop aims to examine the links of AI with specific important areas of science and technology, such as material science, medicine and health, brain science, computational methods, cybersecurity, as well as culture, and identify both potential advances, and major stumbling blocks, including the massive growth of energy consumption by AI and the challenges it poses to intellectual property, privacy and security.
