The 2025 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2025) took place from October 19 to 25, 2025 in Hangzhou, China. The programme included plenary and keynote talks, workshops, tutorials, forums, competitions, and a debate. There was also an exhibition where companies and institutions were able to showcase their latest hardware and software. We cast an eye over the social media platforms to see what participants got up to during the week. Truly enjoyed discussing the consolidation of specialist and generalist approaches to physical AI at #IROS2025.

This week saw researchers gather in Madrid at the eighth AAAI / ACM Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Ethics, and Society (AIES) . As well as keynote talks, panels and poster sessions, the organisers experimented with a slightly different format for the contributed talks. All speakers in a session gave their talks, then contributed in a joint discussion on common themes, before the floor was opened to questions from the audience. We cast an eye over social media platforms to find out what participants got up to at the event. Find out what's on the agenda at #AIES2025 next week.

The 34rd International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-25) took place in Montréal, Canada, from 16-22 August. The programme featured keynote talks, tutorials, workshops, competitions, and oral and poster presentations. Find out what the participants got up to during the main part of the conference. Part one of our round-up can be found here. Cynthia Rudin addressed the squishiness of interpretability in machine learning during her winning talk as the recipient of the IJCAI 2025 McCarthy Award.

The 34rd International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-25) is currently taking place in Montréal, Canada. The first couple of days saw the attendees enjoy some of the many tutorials and workshops on offer, with the doctoral consortium also being held. The official opening ceremony took place this morning (Tuesday 19 August). Find out what the participants have been getting up to so far. Find out more about what the event has in store: @ijcai.org

This episode, Ben chats to Pinar Guvenc about co-design, whether AI ready for society and society is ready for AI, what design is, co-creation with AI as a stakeholder, bias in design, small language models, and more.

Welcome to our monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, peruse the latest news, recap recent events, and more. This month's digest includes four interviews. We hear from two newly-elected AAAI Fellows, and two researchers at the start of their careers, to find out about their different research areas – human-allied AI, multilingual natural language processing, microtargeting and activity patterns on social media, and differential privacy. We are delighted to announce the launch of our interview series featuring the 2025-elected AAAI Fellows. We began the series in style, meeting Sriraam Natarajan to talk about his research on human-allied AI.

The 39th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 2025), which took place in Philadelphia, drew to a close on Tuesday 4 March. We take a look at what attendees got up to during the second half of the event, which featured invited talks, technical sessions, demos, posters, and the workshops. Outgoing AAAI President Francesca Rossi also announced the released of a report on the Future of AI research. I had the great pleasure and privilege of participating in this Presidential Panel report on "Future of #AI Research"–now available from @realaaai at https://t.co/DPghoYgneq Honored to receive the #BestPaper Award at #AAAI2025 Good-Data Workshop among 25 accepted papers Grateful to my incredible collaborators @YIJIA_XIAO_, @DianaYiyangWang, and @jd92wang SciEvo: A 2 Million, 30-Year Cross-disciplinary Dataset for Temporal Scientometric Analysis pic.twitter.com/Md8OI4IDty

The 39th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 2025) is currently in full swing in Philadelphia. So far, delegates have been treated to tutorials, the first few of the invited talks, and an exciting variety of oral and poster presentations. We take a look at what attendees have been getting up to during the opening days of the event. I'll be presenting our #AAAI2025 tutorial tomorrow on "Symbolic Regression: Towards Interpretability and Automated Scientific Discovery"! https://t.co/UcSNYyrkAe If you're attending AAAI-25 and are interested to learn more about symbolic regression and its potential in… pic.twitter.com/yaeCpcPoQI
