Artificial Intelligence is a rapidly developing field of computer science that integrates multiple disciplines, such as computer science, psychology, and philosophy. It is a technology that can study and develop theories, methods, technologies, and application systems to simulate, extend, and expand human intelligence by attempting to understand the essence of intelligence, producing a new, intelligent machine that can respond in a similar way to human intelligence. Research in this field includes robots, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing, and expert systems.

Artificial intelligence plays an increasingly important role in the development of global industries and economies, such as the information industry, agriculture, bio-informatics, education, and the economy. It is currently changing our world significantly, and its development depends heavily on artificial intelligence theory and technological progress, making research in AI a hot topic all over the world.

The 16th th International Conference On Intelligent Computing Technology and Automation (ICICTA 2023) was held in Xi’an, on 24 & 25 October 2023. It is an annual forum dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in artificial intelligence and its applications. The aim of the conference is to bring together an international community of researchers and practitioners in the field of AI to share the latest research achievements, discuss recent advances, influence future direction, and promote the diffusion of the discipline throughout the scientific community at large.

ICICTA 2023 received 322 submissions, and all papers underwent a rigorous peer-review procedure with each receiving at least 2 review reports. Based on these, 141 high quality papers were ultimately accepted and are included in these proceedings. We hope that these contributions will provide effective channels for peer-to-peer communication.

On behalf of the conference chairs, we thank the members of the organizing committees and the program committees. We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the keynote speakers, reviewers, editors and to those students who assisted with the conference. Last but not least, we thank all authors and participants for the contributions that made this conference possible and all the hard work worthwhile.

We hope to see you at the next ICICTA in 2024.
