The Search-Oriented Conversational Artificial Intelligence workshop (SCAI) is a discussion platform on Conversational AI for intelligent information access, bringing together researchers and practitioners across natural language processing, information retrieval, machine learning and human-computer interaction fields. SCAI is an established venue with a long-standing tradition of building bridges and integrating expertise from diverse research communities.

SCAI 2024 at CHIIR was the 8th iteration of SCAI. The workshop focused on the discussion between researchers from different fields as a strictly non-archival venue.
