This is an in-person workshop sponsored by the Computing Community Consortium (CCC), in coordination with the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) and ACM SIGAI to create a joint vision for fusing the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Operations Research (OR) communities to be held in Washington, DC on March 21-22, 2024.

This workshop is the third in a three part series which will focus on exploiting the synergies of the AI and OR communities to transform highly scalable, actionable, automated data-driven decision-making. The goal of this workshop series is to identify grand challenges which require the cooperation of AI and OR experts, and barriers to those collaborations. The organizing committee selected challenge problem proposals from an open solicitation to the community, and the selected participants will present their challenge problems during the workshop.

Grand challenges may be fundamental societal problems for which an AI/OR approach has significant promise and/or scientific advances that would fundamentally transform both fields. The workshop will invite thought leaders from both fields and balance a variety of considerations to create a stimulating, diverse, and inclusive forum for creating this joint vision.

The first workshop focused on articulating a strategic vision, and the second workshop focused on what it takes to develop and deploy intelligent systems based on AI and OR technology that are trustworthy.
