Autonomous vehicles are one obvious implementation of “artificial intelligence” but other more-subtle examples are emerging. <br><br>Google’s translate is now using artificial intelligence to provide significantly improved translations. Smartphones have “intelligent assistants” (e.g. Apple’s Siri, or Microsoft’s Cortana) and recent in-home products use similar technology (e.g. Amazon’s Alexa). Recent announcements from Japan describe hotels staffed (almost) entirely by robots driven by artificial intelligence. Other services are on offer too; e.g. x.ai for personal appointment scheduling. <br><br>The conference will focus on how these modern technologies might move into the work environment supplementing and supporting the work of ICT professionals, and perhaps eventually replacing them.<br><br><b>Streams and topic areas are:</b> Technology; Security; Data management; Leadership; the Future of Work; Analysis and Design; Education; Ethics and professionalism. </span></span></span><br><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(69, 69,
