Conference Report on the Inaugural 2023 IEEE Conference on
Artificial Intelligence (IEEE CAI 2023)
T
he inaugural 2023 IEEE Conference
on Artificial Intelligence
was held June 5-6 at the
Hyatt Regency Santa Clara in California's
Silicon Valley. This new event was
several years in the making and included
co-sponsorship by four IEEE societies
including the IEEE Computational
Intelligence Society (as lead organization
for the first two years), IEEE Computer
Society, IEEE Signal Processing
Society, and IEEE Systems, Man and
Cybernetics Society. Given the cosponsorship,
the event is managed by a
steering committee with members from
all four societies and with a team from
one of the societies annually running
the event as the lead sponsor for that
year. Our initial ideas for the event
began in 2019 and developed through
2020 during the covid-19 pandemic.
After attending an AI Exposition, we
determined that a large event would
require cooperation across multiple
societies, and starting a new conference
series during a pandemic would not be
wise. Plans were made to launch the
series in 2023 while we solved the cosponsorship
arrangements. We were
pleased to work with staff from the
IEEE Computer Society in the planning
and development of the conference
itself, with content focused on the six

verticals of interest noted previously in
IEEE CIM (AI in transportation,
energy, healthcare, earth systems, industrial
optimization, and societal implications
of these applications). We faced
additional headwinds going into 2023
as recession fears loomed across corporate
America leading to budget cuts for
conference engagement. The poorly
timed bankruptcy of Silicon Valley
Bank also did not help matters. However,
we remained eager to have a fully
in-person post-pandemic conference
with as much personal interaction as
possible.
We welcomed four keynote speakers
to the conference. Sean Lie from
Cerebras gave a great lecture about their
new 2.6 trillion processor chips
designed for AI applications. Peter Norvig
from Stanford provided insights
about how AI is transforming education.
Kunle Olukotun from SambaNova
discussed the importance of
reconfigurable dataflow accelerators for
improved machine learning models.
Finally, Serafim Batzoglou of Seer Bio
spoke about the many ways that large
language models are game changers in
bioinformatics. Along with these
