The scope of this second workshop is to cover all active and potential areas of applications of AI/ML for the EIC. </div>
<div style="color:black; font-size:12pt; font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">
This will include accelerator and detector design (EPIC and potentially detector-2), connections to theory, analysis, reconstruction and particle identification, infrastructure and frontiers in AI/ML, streaming. </div>
<div style="color:black; font-size:12pt; font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">
During the workshop funding agencies will present their perspective on AI/ML-related research; each day of the workshop will have dedicated tutorials on AI/ML provided by experts (academia, national labs, industry); the workshop will also host a Hackathon event
in October 14. <br>

<i>AI/ML will be an essential part of all phases of the future EIC and is already contributing to its realization starting from the design and R&D phases. This workshop is a terrific opportunity to update the community on the progress of ongoing projects and
plans regarding AI/ML for the EIC, with discussions on multiple cross-cutting topics that bring together theorists, experimentalists, accelerator physicists and AI/ML practitioners.</i> </div>
