The Second Serbian International Conference on Applied Artificial Intelligence (SICAAI)
AAI2023 will provide an exceptional Serbian and international forum to share the state-of-the-art research knowledge and results on the innovative theories, methodology and applications of artificial intelligence and its sub-domain like deep learning, machine learning in different areas such as medicine, economy, education, law, smart city, government, industry etc. AAI2023 welcomes abstracts in all sub-areas of artificial intelligence. Moreover, the conference aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners for both academia and industry to share the information about cutting-edge developments in the field of artificial intelligence.
This conference intends to emphasize a research connection, therefore, the authors are invited to highlight the advantages of information technologies in various domains. Innovative research ideas on how to solve problems using artificial intelligence, both in R&D and real-time applications are welcome. Papers describing the advanced prototypes, systems, methodologies, tools and techniques and general survey papers, which indicates future directions, are also encouraged.

Technological Entrepreneurship – Key to World Prosperity and Peace
Over the past several decades we witness a shift toward national policies that encourage innovation and technological entrepreneurship. The call for more investment in entrepreneurship echoes around the globe as it becomes clear that except for a few countries, natural resources like oil and minerals are not enough to sustain economies, while human ingenuity is indeed the most important, sustainable natural resource.
So, is there hope for everybody in the world to improve their lives? Can technological entrepreneurship be motivated and taught so that generations of determined entrepreneurs will build up thriving economies? The clear answer to both questions is yes and it all starts with education in general and scientific-technical education in particular. This is a long process, but there is a way to expedite it – start with the already educated engineers and scientists. These are the first candidates to open entrepreneurial endeavors. They can make the difference, but need motivation, instruction and encouraging economic environment that fosters creation of successful start-ups. These pioneering entrepreneurs can then serve as role models to others. The name of the game is motivation. If this nucleus of capable people is motivated toward entrepreneurship, a process can start that will make a huge difference in a life of a country. Living examples to countries that underwent this process are China, Israel and Singapore whose societies shifted from agrarian to industrial within several decades thanks to the spirit of entrepreneurship and the motivation to create high-tech industries led and guided by individual engineers and scientists.
In my talk I will explain the need for technological entrepreneurship and describe my involvement in turning Israel into a startup nation.

Opportunities and Challenges of the ChatGPT Era
ChatGPT presents a new generation of search engines based on machine learning mechanisms capable of answering complex questions such as “write me an essay” or “please solve the following exam”. On the one hand, such capability (and we can assume that it will continue to improve over time) seems to be the ultimate tool students (and engineers) need, but on the other hand, such tools present many new challenges.
My talk will mainly focus on such tools’ educational, sociological, and political aspects. I hope it could be served as a call for action for an interdisciplinary discussion on ‘can we prevent people that misuse advanced technologies to control future societies’.
