The 40th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence took place in Singapore from 20-27 January, the first time that the event has been held outside of North America. In our first social media round up we had a peak at the first half of the conference which hosted the tutorials, the bridge programme, and the doctoral and undergraduate consortia, as well as the start of the technical programme. Now, we pick some highlights from the second half, which saw a number of invited talks, technical sessions, posters, and the workshops. Do VLMs actually'see' or just rely on priors? He showed how models fail to count stripes on a shoe simply because they recognize the'Adidas' logo and hallucinate the standard 3 stripes.

We're pleased to announce that we will be giving an introduction to science communication for AI researchers at AAAI this year. This will be held on Wednesday 21 January from 13:00 - 14:30. The session is part of the Undergraduate Consortium programme. However, if you are attending the conference and fancy finding out how you can communicate your research to a general audience in different formats, then you are more than welcome to join us. The session will comprise a talk, a Q&A, and the opportunity to try some of the activities presented in the tutorial. You will have the opportunity to receive advice on any science communication ideas or questions you have.
