The 8th NYUAD Transportation Symposium

January 10, 2025

The main theme of the 8th NYUAD Transportation Symposium is Transportation and AI: Opportunities and Challenges. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the transportation industry by increasing efficiency and accessibility, but it also presents several challenges that need to be addressed, including safety and ethical constraints.

The 8th NYUAD Transportation Symposium is a forum for exchanging ideas among scholars who are active in these areas of research.

Past Conferences

EAI ArtsIT 2024 - 13th EAI International Conference

November 13-15, 2024

The ArtsIT conference brings together a wide array of cross-/inter-/trans-disciplinary researchers, practitioners, artists, and academia to present and discuss the symbiosis between art and information technology applied in a variety of distinct fields. Since 2009 ArtsIT has become acknowledged as a leading scientific forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge research results in the intersection between art, science, culture, performing arts, media, and technology. The role of artistic practice using digital media is also to serve as a tool for analysis and critical reflection on how technologies influence our lives, culture, and society.
