Joint Workshop on 
Autonomous Agents for Social Good 

A collaboration between

Strategic Reasoning for Societal Challenges (SRSC)

10th International Workshop on Collaborative Agents Research & Development (CARE)

In conjunction with AAMAS 19, 13 May 2019, Montreal, Canada

Joint Workshops

Strategic Reasoning for Societal Challenges

​

SRSC provides an opportunity to showcase real-world deployments of AI/MAS research, aiming to demonstrate the challenges faced in these applications to understand lessons of moving from the lab to the real world. Addressing these challenges requires collaboration from different communities including artificial intelligence, game theory, operations research, social science, and psychology. This workshop is structured to encourage a lively exchange of ideas between members from these communities. (see details)

Organization:

​

Collaborative Agents Research & Development

​

CARE for Smarter Health aims to discuss computational models, social computing, decision support systems, and agent-based technology, both theoretical models as well as research applied to practical solutions related to Healthcare and Medicine. (see details)

Learnings from 100 AI projects: Implications for Healthcare

​

Implications of AI are oftentimes vindicated by highlighting promising research with a promise of real-world value and a wide range of application areas that could be transformed. A common trait is to focus on one or the other, but rarely on their combination.We analysed 100 AI projects in terms of technological challenges and practical bottlenecks, as well as technology-enabled opportunities, to find the largest opportunities for value creation. This allows us also to mirror the current state of AI into application areas and specific opportunities in healthcare, as well as examples of ongoing transformative AI initiatives.

How Multi-Agent Systems and AI is a driving transformation force in Health Care

​

Artificial Intelligence offers substantial benefits to how we deliver health care and medicine. AI is becoming increasingly accurate and effective in performing a broad range of complex health care related tasks (e.g. recognizing a malignant tumour on MRIs, and coordinating care). Such AI driven performance can then be scaled up, improve health outcomes and save many lives. As a result, AI helps clinicians, patients and many health stakeholders to make faster, better, and cheaper decisions, at scale. This presentation provides an overview of the state of the art in how AI and MAS are shaping the health care journey forward.
