1000 Researchers in Artificial Intelligence Call for a European Vision

Over the last fifty years, the world has seen an impressive growth in science - in terms of publications, number of highly-trained scientists and impact of results. This is not only good for science, but also for everyone who benefits from the outcomes and applications of scientific research. An area that has seen much growth lately is artificial intelligence (AI). A full four thousand scientific papers were submitted to the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), the top international conference in AI, which was held in Stockholm earlier this summer. While growth in science and technology has happened in most countries and regions in the world, recent developments in Asia are particularly impressive.
