The Future of AI Workshop is an industry event, jointly organized by BICA Society, Microsoft, BCG, and other major organizations in academia and the corporate world that are coming together in Redmond, Washington USA to investigate the future of AI. The Workshop is held as a part of BICA 2019: The Tenth Annual International Conference on Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures. During its 10 years, the BICA conference grew out of its original scope reflected in its title, and now serves the most ambitious part of the entire AI community, while keeping its focus on the BICA Challenge — to build a real-life computational equivalent of the human mind. Those who cannot commit to the entire BICA 2019 conference, will be able to attend the half-day workshop only.

Our goal in this Future of AI event is to help move us all forward to a better future with Artificial Intelligence technologies.  Register and come enjoy the fun August 15th for the workshop and the 16th through the 18th for the BICA Conference!
