KI/RuG symposium
AI in the Wild

Cognition in dynamic environments

Wednesday, October 20
Sponsored by: Siks logo


The symposium Artificial Intelligence in the wild was organized at the occasion of the 10th Anniversary of the AI Institute Groningen on Wednesday October 20th, before the BNAIC'04 conference

The symposium focused on the achievements of the situated & embodied paradigm, in contrast to logic-based approaches. The "wild" environment in this respect covers both the natural and man-made environments and environments in which the physical presence of the human user plays a central role in man-machine interaction. Speakers are invited who cover a number of views on these topics.
