ACAI provides a wide range of state-of-the-art courses given by some of 
the most prominent researchers in the area.

The notion of “Human Centric AI” is dominating the public AI debate in 
Europe and elsewhere.  It postulates a vision of AI beneficial to humans 
on both individual and social level that is characterized by a focus on 
supporting and empowering humans as well as incorporating “by design” 
adherence to appropriate ethical standards and values such as privacy 
protection, autonomy (human in control), and non-discrimination. Stated 
this way (which is how it mostly appears in the political debate) it may 
seem more like a broad, vague wish list than a tangible 
scientific/technological concept. Yet, at a second glance, it turns out 
that it is closely connected to some of the most fundamental challenges 
of AI which are the core of ACAI2021 program

The program is packed with diverse activities, including tutorials (at 
basic and advanced level), keynotes, panels, student presentations, and 
more.

ACAI provides a wide range of state-of-the-art courses given by some of 
the most prominent researchers in the area.

A typical course is broad enough to provide a general introduction to 
the chosen topic, whilst also students can learn the most relevant 
contributions in depth.

This year, ACAI offers an excelent tutorial curriculum, which covers 
many important AI topics including Learning and Reasoning with Human in 
the Loop, Multimodal Perception, Human Computer Interaction (HCI), 
Social AI, Societal, Legal and Ethical Impact and more. Check out the
