The Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (MICAI) is a yearly international conference series that has been organized by the Mexican Society for Artificial Intelligence (SMIA) since 2000. MICAI is a major international artificial intelligence (AI) forum and the main event in the academic life of the country’s growing AI community. This year, the conference will take place at Tec de Monterrey, Campus Chihuahua, Mexico.

MICAI is recognized by Springer as a premier international conference in the field of Artificial Intelligence. This high-level, peer-reviewed event brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals from around the world to explore advances across all areas of AI. As artificial intelligence has grown in relevance in recent years, MICAI has strengthened collaborations with industry, governmental bodies, as well as international agencies and policymakers,  and other actors of the ecosystem. The  conference has featured industry panels and roundtables, invited stakeholders to give tutorials and more recently, introduced an industry-focused applied AI workshop within the conference.

The conference, as is traditional, showcases a large variety of research fields and topics. Moreover, the conference includes cutting-edge keynote lectures, as well as detailed paper and poster presentations. The first two days are dedicated to specialized workshops, comprehensive hands-on tutorials, AI competitions, and a doctoral consortium. Furthermore,  thought-provoking panels provide a rich and exciting experience during the conference, which  aim to cater to a wide audience.  Moreover, we  will continue the legacy of announcing the José Negrete Awards, the SMIA Best Thesis in Artificial Intelligence Contest’s results.

The proceedings of MICAI have been historically published in two different Springer volumes, Advances in Computational Intelligence and  Advances in Soft Computing. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to all areas of Artificial Intelligence, Computational Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Mining, Fuzzy Systems, research or applications.
