43rd German Conference on Artificial Intelligence

KI2020 is the (42+1)rd edition of the German Conference on Artificial Intelligence organized in cooperation with the Fachbereich Künstliche Intelligenz der Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI-SIG AI). KI is an abbreviation for the German "Künstliche Intelligenz". The KI conference has been developed from a series of inofficial meetings and workshops, starting 45 years ago with the first GI-SIG AI meeting on Oct. 7, 1975 (see archive of GI-SIG AI)

KI is one of the major European AI conferences and traditionally brings together academic and industrial researchers from all areas of AI, providing an ideal place for exchanging news and research results on theory and applications. The technical program of KI2020 comprises paper presentations as well as tutorials and workshops. Please find the detailled scope of the conference and submission information in the Call for Papers.

The WIAI social media team will cover the conference. Follow @UniWiai and the hashtag #ki2020 on Twitter, or find the WIAI on Facebook as @FakultaetWIAI.

The Springer proceedings of KI 2020 are already available online.
