Preface
This volume contains the papers presented at AIxAS 2021, the second edition of
the Italian Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for an Ageing Society
(http://aixas2021.istc.cnr.it/), held within the 20th International Conference of
the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2021), on November
29th, 2021.
The aim of this series of workshops is to bring together researchers interested in
different aspects of Artificial Intelligence for an Ageing Society. The working
group “Artificial Intelligence for Ageing Society” has previously organized
several Workshops on Technological Challenges and Scenarios for the Ageing
Society in Brescia, Palermo, Torino, Genoa, Bari, Trento, Rende and online to
discuss about technological roles and opportunities for Artificial Intelligence in
the Ageing Society domain. Capitalizing from these activities, the group is
establishing a stable forum on the topic and organized the this workshop with
the goal of collecting contributions, ideas and new scientific and technological
scenarios, as well as to discuss and disseminate results on Artificial Intelligence
for Aging Society.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods and techniques have and will have a pivotal
role, due to the advanced goals of the discipline and its inner cross-disciplinary
attitude, in order to deliver innovative and impacting results and related
technologies. The development of new AI-based solutions to support and help
older adults, as well as those close to them, to cope with the changes of ageing
and cognitive decline represents one of the most advanced ICT areas in the AI
field. Nevertheless, facing the problems of an ageing society requires a cross-
disciplinary approach, too. For this reason, the transition from a workshop
focused on Artificial Intelligence for Ambient Assisted Living, as in previous
years, to a more pervasive workshop on Artificial Intelligence for an Aging
Society became urgent to better reflect the multifactorial nature of aging process
and the multidisciplinary efforts needed to face with it.
This year, each paper was reviewed by at least two members of the Program
Committee of the Workshop, and based on their recommendations, 7 documents
have been selected for publication and presentation at AIxAS2021. In addition,
the workshop was enriched by the valuable participation of Gabriella Cortellessa
as invited speaker. We sincerely thank all members of the AIxAS Program
Committee for their effort in the review process that was fundamental for
maintaining the high scientific level of the workshop. We thank the AIxIA
council, who trusted us to organize AIxAS2021, and all the researchers of the AI
community who supported this event by submitting their work and actively
participating in this unusual but extremely fruitful and inspiring online form.
