Supported by the LIAvignon Chair and the Avignon Computer Science Laboratory (LIA), the second edition of the Artificial Intelligence Festival includes workshops, meetings, conference-debates and round tables led by researchers and experts on the subject. Different fields of application of AI are thus addressed (non-intrusive monitoring, defence and security, personal voice assistants, ethical issues, etc.).
