International Workshop: AI-Biz2023
One day during June 4-6, 2023:Venue: Kumamoto-Jo Hall, Kumamoto, Japan (onsite/online/hybrid styles are all available):
Aims and Scope
The objective of this workshop is to foster the concepts and techniques of“Business Intelligence (BI).” in Artificial Intelligence. BI should include such cutting-edge techniques as data science, agent-based modelling, complex adaptive systems, and IoT. The application areas include but not limited to business management, finance engineering, service sciences, manufacturing engineering, and so on.The basic idea of BI would enhance the capabilities of conventional techniques in business domain, however, so far, we have not discussed BI concepts deeply in artificial intelligence literature. We would like to focus on BI topics to the issues of firms and organizations for getting more benefits on interactions with human- and computer- mixed systems.
The main purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss important research questions and practical challenges in Business Intelligence, Business Informatics, Data Analysis and Agent-based Modelling to exchange latest results, to join efforts in solving the common challenges. It is also to establish an effective communication between researchers and developers involved in the both areas. The workshop will provide opportunities for the participants to exchange new ideas and experiences to establish research or business network and to find global partners for future collaboration.

Teaching Artificial Intelligence in K-12 Education: The Policy Landscape and Research Directions
Abstract: According to an analysis done by McKinsey in 2018, 70% of global firms are expected to adopt at least one type of artificial intelligence technology by 2030. This will potentially make a significant impact not only on the global workforce but also on the majority of the citizens around the world. The future citizens will have to live in a world where the man-machine as well as machine-machine interactions would be an essential component of their everyday life. Moreover, the future workforce will have to be comprising of such citizens who could effectively adopt artificial intelligence in the overall process of digital transformation in both public and private sectors. Hence, the artificial intelligence literacy of the future citizens is something that every government will have to think of and invest in. Under such circumstances, some governments have already taken initiative to include artificial intelligence to their K-12 curriculums with the intention of bringing up their future citizens with essential artificial intelligence skills to meet the sustainability goals of the next decade. However, the policy landscapes for effectively teaching artificial intelligence at schools are still being evolved with important questions such as 1) what to be taught at which level, 2) how to be taught 3) what techniques are best to be used to teach and 4) what challenges are to be overcome and how. This opens up significant research gaps for us to address focusing on the curriculums, pedagogy, teaching and learning tools, as well as the training of the teaching staff. This talk is expected to bring some existing policy frameworks and challenges of teaching artificial intelligence in K-12 education into discussion, with a special focus to some ongoing initiatives in Sri Lanka to teach artificial intelligence at the pre-tertiary level.
