The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Computer Science

The Computer Science Unit of ATINER is organizing organizing a Special Session on “The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Computer Science” as part of the 20^th Annual International Conference on Information Technology & Computer Science, 20-23 May 2024, Athens, Greece sponsored by the Athens Journal of Τechnology & Engineering & Athens Journal of Sciences.

ChatGPT has become famous for being able to answer all sorts of questions, even do programming when given well specified requirements, and even help with writing scientific papers. However, ChatGPT is nothing else than a Generative Pretrained Transformer, thus it recombines existing knowledge and presents them in a flawless English, or Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and some more. Proficiency may vary. Undoubtedly, computer scientists can benefit from this help when writing papers or invitations to publish, because it gathers references much faster than humans can with a library; but does it also help when writing formal proofs? When working with rewrite rules, for example, it is likely to be much less error-prone and faster than humans, and so can do a lot of the work? Maybe it helps in preparing exercises and exams for students? Or in evaluating answers and proposed solutions? We encourage computer scientists and educators to submit their experiences with ChatGPT or another AI tool and present them in this special track. You may participate as a presenter of one paper and/or an attendee.

Please submit an abstract (email only) to: atiner@atiner.gr, using the abstract submission form by 9 April 2024 to: Dr. Thomas Fehlmann, Senior Researcher, Euro Project Office, Switzerland.

Abstracts should include the following: Title of Paper, Full Name (s), Affiliation, Current Position, an email address, and at least 3 keywords that best describe the subject of your submission. Decisions are reached within 4 weeks.

Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/fees.

Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized which give a great opportunity to further discuss the issues presented at the conference. From ATINER’s long experience these events bring together scholars from different countries and disciplines which may result to research collaborations and joint publications. These events include a pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine-tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycenae and island of Poros visit, an Athens educational walking tour, a day trip to Delphi, and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit. Details of the social program are available here.
