International Conference on Research in Mind Games, 7-8 August 2018, Pisa

We will be hosting the 3rd edition of the International Conference on Research in Mind Games, set to take place 7-8 August at EGC 2018. For this edition, we are proud to welcome both original and review papers from all fields of research in every mind game. In particular, from mathematics, computer science and the social sciences. Event organisers are Prof. Ingo Althöfer (University of Jena) and Prof. Marc-Oliver Rieger (University of Trier).

One day before the conference starts, don't miss the following introductory talk. No previous knowledge on AI needed.

August 6, 17.00h Special lecture: Carsten Kraus (CEO of Omikron Data Quality GmbH, Germany): Artificial Intelligence: the next revolution
Abstract: "Artificial intelligence dominates the media. And if you believe the media, it will soon dominate our working world. What can artificial intelligence already do today, what developments are underway? Can we already benefit from it today? Where can AI bring disruptive changes, where do we need to be cautious?
An exciting journey into the realm of a completely new species that is currently undergoing rapid evolution. And which – in the medium term – will trigger the next revolution in our society.
