The Social AI CDT, in partnership with the Social AI Group, organised the first Workshop on Artificial Social Intelligence (Social AI Workshop), which took place on 28th August 2023 at the Advanced Research Centre, University of Glasgow. 

Social AI involves developing an AI domain aimed at endowing artificial agents with social intelligence, the ability to deal appropriately with users’ attitudes, intentions, feelings, personality and expectations. This full day workshop hosted a series of talks by renowned experts in Social AI, followed by a students’ poster session and discussion panels. The workshop brought together academic experts, students and industry professionals to encourage dialogs around the progress, challenges and opportunities in Social AI as AI continues to permeate all aspects of our social presence. The keynote speakers were Professor Hayley Hung (Professor of Computing Science at TU Delft), Professor Emily Cross (Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at ETH Zurich, and a Visiting Professor at the University of Glasgow), and Dr Matthew Aylett (Associate Professor in Applied AI at Heriot-Watt University, and co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of CereProc, a speech synthesis company based in Edinburgh).
