2nd Workshop on Decision Theory & the Future of AI

27-28 Jul 2018
Munich, Germany

The Second Workshop on Decision Theory & the Future of Artificial 
Intelligence, 27-28 July 2018, Munich, Germany

http://decision-ai.org/2018/ <http://decision-ai.org/2018/>

This workshop will continue in the tradition established last year of 
bringing together philosophers, decision theorists, and AI researchers in 
order to promote research at the nexus between decision theory and AI. Our 
plan for the second installment is to make connections between decision 
theory and burgeoning research programs that may play a prominent role in 
the near future of the discipline ? e.g., quantum information theory, 
social network analysis, and causal inference.
