2023 IEEE International Conference on Marine Artificial Intelligence and Law (ICMAIL 2023)
Sep. 3-4, 2023, Taipei, Taiwan

**CONFERENCE OVERVIEW**
The IEEE International Conference on Marine Artificial Intelligence and Law (IEEE ICMAIL 2023) will be held in Taipei from September 3 to September 4, 2023. It will provide a communication platform for researchers interested in the topics of oceanography, artificial intelligence, and law. The focus of this conference will be on research related to artificial intelligence in the ocean. We welcome professors, researchers, academicians, engineers, lawyers, innovators, and practitioners from around the world to participate in IEEE ICMAIL 2023. The aims of this conference are to enable interdisciplinary collaboration among ocean scientists, computer scientists, engineers, and legal professionals. During the conference, there will be substantial time for the presentation of ideas and discussions. Attendees will find various activities useful in bringing together a diverse group of teachers, educators, engineers, and technologists from across disciplines for the generation of new ideas, collaboration potential, and business opportunities.

**CONFERENCE TOPICS**
We encourage the submission of any papers on artificial intelligence in the ocean. Technical papers related to the topics of interest (but not limited to those aspects) are invited for oral presentation.
