These proceedings represent the work of contributors to the 2nd European Conference on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (ECIAIR 2020), hosted by ACI and Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), Portugal on 22-23 October 2020. The Conference Chair is Dr Florinda Matos, and the Programme Chairs are Dr Ana Maria de Almeida and Prof Isabel Salavisa, all from Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), Portugal.

These proceedings represent the work of contributors to the European Conference on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (ECIAIR 2019), hosted by EM-Normandie Business School on 31 October-1 November 2019. The Conference Chair is Paul Griffiths from EM-Normandie Business School and the Programme Chair is Mitt Nowshade Kabir, from Trouvus, Canada. The motivation to launch the European Conference on the Impact of AI and Robotics (ECIAIR) has come about as a result of the maturing of artificial intelligence and robotics, particularly of the cognitive computing kind, which is producing an unprecedented revolution in the role of work and professionals in society. So this Conference aims to focus not so much on the technology itself, but rather its consequence on knowledge work and society. The opening keynote presentation is given by Dr Mariano E. Giménez, from the University of Strasbourg, France on the topic of Hybrid Operating Rooms and Image-Guided Surgery, the way to Automation. Then an afternoon screening of the Netflix Film "The Great Hacked" followed by a Q&A. The second day of the conference will open with an address by Dr Mitt Nowshade Kabir, who will talk about Artificial General Intelligence, Consciousness and the Future of AI. The conference will close on Friday with a Panel of Philosophers: What limits should humans set on Artificial Intelligence? With an initial submission of 104 abstracts, after the double blind, peer review process there are 44 Academic research papers, 4 PhD research papers, 1 Masters Research papers, 4 non-academic papers and 4 work-in-progress papers published in these Conference Proceedings. These papers represent research from Australia, Belarus, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, UAE, UK and USA.

These proceedings represent the work of contributors to the 3rd European Conference on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (ECIAIR 2021), hosted by ACI and Iscte - Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal on 18-19 November 2021. The Conference Chair is Prof Florinda Matos, and the Programme Chairs are Prof Isabel Salavisa and Prof Carlos Serrão, all from Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal ECIAIR is now a well-established event on the academic research calendar and now, in its 3rd year, the key aim remains in the opportunity for participants to share ideas and meet people who hold them. The conference was due to be held at Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal, but because of the global Covid-19 pandemic, it was moved online as a virtual event. The subjects covered in the papers illustrate the wide range of topics that fall into this important and ever-growing area of research. The opening keynote presentation is given by Prof Luis Paulo Reis, from University of Porto, Portugal, on the topic of "Ethical, Explainable and Configurable Artificial Intelligence". The second day of the conference will be open by Prof Jean-Gabriel Ganascia, Sorbonne University, Paris, France, who will talk about "Justice, Fairness and AI"., With an initial submission of 57 abstracts, after the double blind, peer review process there are 25 academic research papers, 3 Masters' research papers, 1 non-academic paper and 2 work-in-progress papers published in these Conference Proceedings. These papers represent research from Brazil, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Japan, Nigeria, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and USA.

This book presents the proceedings of the 24th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2020), held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, from 29 August to 8 September 2020. The conference was postponed from June, and much of it conducted online due to the COVID-19 restrictions. The conference is one of the principal occasions for researchers and practitioners of AI to meet and discuss the latest trends and challenges in all fields of AI and to demonstrate innovative applications and uses of advanced AI technology. The book also includes the proceedings of the 10th Conference on Prestigious Applications of Artificial Intelligence (PAIS 2020) held at the same time. A record number of more than 1,700 submissions was received for ECAI 2020, of which 1,443 were reviewed. Of these, 361 full-papers and 36 highlight papers were accepted (an acceptance rate of 25% for full-papers and 45% for highlight papers). The book is divided into three sections: ECAI full papers; ECAI highlight papers; and PAIS papers. The topics of these papers cover all aspects of AI, including Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems; Computational Intelligence; Constraints and Satisfiability; Games and Virtual Environments; Heuristic Search; Human Aspects in AI; Information Retrieval and Filtering; Knowledge Representation and Reasoning; Machine Learning; Multidisciplinary Topics and Applications; Natural Language Processing; Planning and Scheduling; Robotics; Safe, Explainable, and Trustworthy AI; Semantic Technologies; Uncertainty in AI; and Vision. The book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the use of AI technology.

This handbook focuses on new threats to psychological security that are posed by the malicious use of AI and how it can be used to counteract such threats. Studies on the malicious use of AI through deepfakes, agenda setting, sentiment analysis and affective computing and so forth, provide a visual representation of the various forms and methods of malicious influence on the human psyche, and through this on the political, economic, cultural processes, the activities of state and non-state institutions. Separate chapters examine the malicious use of AI in geopolitical confrontation, political campaigns, strategic deception, damage to corporate reputation, and activities of extremist and terrorist organizations. This is a unique volume that brings together a multidisciplinary range of established scholars and upcoming new researchers from 11 countries. This handbook is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in this new and developing field of social practice and knowledge.
