2nd Workshop for Sino-UK to Promote Development and Application of AI has been held at College Court, Leicester, on 10th December 2021. This workshop received huge supports from Royal Society, University of Leicester and Northwestern Polytechnical University. Around 50 participants physically attended the workshop and discussed lots of AI-related applications, spreading from IoT to design. The workshop features several invited talks from UK and China that well addressed the fast-growing areas in bioinformatics and machine learning. Many thanks to the organisers Honghui Du, Ben Cham and Feixiang Zhou and the participants.
